Big bosses take lowly jobs

For a reality TV show, executives clean washrooms, serve meals, and do the work of the little guy.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Never having cleaned a bathroom in his life, Jonathan Tisch was down on his knees, scrubbing with great effort but little interest, under the watchful eye of his supervisor. Tisch, the chief executive officer of Loews Hotels, a unit of Loews Corp., was one of several CEOs to get down and dirty for a week's worth of labor in the new reality-based show "Now Who's Boss?" airing March 8 on cable's The Learning Channel.

The grueling week humbled them, said the executives, who agreed to work in lower-level jobs in their own companies, but it also made them affect changes in the workplace.


Tisch -- after pushing housekeeping supplies and luggage carts all over the Loews Miami Beach Hotel -- decided to change the staff uniforms. "These just get way too hot. We need to change the fabric," he said from a plush conference room at his corporate offices in New York. "We also need to upgrade the uniforms to make them look hip and trendy." Tisch, a third-generation hotelier, also decided to make some technological changes that will reduce the time it takes to check in guests.

Representing industries from hospitality to cosmetics, the executives were trained by the flight attendants, housekeeping staff and restaurant busers, whose jobs they performed.

Disposing of sewage
The temporary duties of John Selvaggio, president of Song Air Service, the low-cost carrier of Delta Air Lines included making sushi and disposing of raw sewage. He also became aware of more efficient ways of time-management. "I asked myself: Can you have caterers load an airplane, while cleaners are cleaning it, while passengers are boarding it?" Selvaggio said in an interview. "And I realized while working on the plane -- Yes, we can." Selvaggio helped reduce turn-around time for planes from one hour and 20 minutes to just 40 minutes.
