I’m going to be 5 nights away from Marriott Platinum elite at years end. Can I just find a super cheap Marriott property near my house to check in (but not stay there) and earn the remaining nights?

I don’t like managing people, especially juniors who are still figuring out their career paths. But at my company, in order to be considered a leader, you have to manage people.

Can I be a creative leader without managing?
