During a recent talk with peers, I was asked about effective leadership principles. More specifically, which ones proved instrumental during my career in navigating the complexity of managing teams, projects, and all kinds of stakeholders?  I’d like to share my drivers when it comes to what I call sustainable team/people management. But first, an anecdote to illustrate.  A professional kitchen is generally composed of different positions: commis, demi-chef, chef de partie, sous-chef, head chef, pastry chef, head pastry chef, saucier, etc. All have their very specific qualities and capabilities.  A saucier can provide the most marvelous sauces to accompany a meat or a fish dish but is not able to make a dessert. This is the pastry chef role. The same goes for the commis, who has to learn how to cut veggies and make starters. He could not work as a chef de parties, who is generally responsible for baking the meat or the fish, because he has more experience.  The same goes for any kind of industry: the right people must be hired for the right function at the right moment. So, here is what I took away from this experience: 👉  Always create an environment where colleagues/teams can express their capabilities to the fullest and develop these capabilities further or learn new ones. It makes no sense to hire resources with the necessary capabilities only to set them in an environment where they cannot perform as they were intended to.  Next week, I’ll focus on another leadership principle that enhances sustainable team management, so stay tuned!  What are your top drivers as a leader of team(s)/people?   #Cybersecurity #Leadership #Lessons #Teams #Innovation

I have always adopted a hands-on approach as a chef, regardless of the setting, motivated by my readiness to assist whenever needed and engage actively in kitchen activities. The excitement and fast pace of the culinary field captivated me and led me to pursue this career. Recently, I have observed a rise in the use of the term "hands-on chef" among hiring teams and recruiters. I have seized opportunities for self-improvement in various work settings, considering each placement as a chance to showcase my skills and enthusiasm. Let's explore the importance of being a "hands-on chef." In search of a 'Hands-On Chef' who must handle admin tasks, work like a Commis, but is offered minimal pay while being misled about the true state of your property that requires more than just an international chef. Your entire kitchen needs upgrading and staff training to reignite the passion. Realistically, you risk losing another skilled chef if your team, with over 20 years of experience, fails to embrace growth and new techniques. It's clear, you are expecting miracles in a place that requires much more than that. Attention, Chefs! Stay alert! You have every right to be honest and address issues that are unacceptable in the workplace. Best wishes, everyone!

A successful business isn't about the capacity or size of the structure. It's simply about the managerial executives skills and the extra comfort and love you have for doing that particular business. It's all about food quality and taste! ...... Then comes good customer services and visibility. Stop creating unnecessary labor cost in businesses. Some single restaurants with 3 different managers, head Chef executive Chef, Sous Chefs, Jr Sous Chef, Chef De Parties, demi chefs, come 123. Different supervisors, categories of hostesses and waiters/waitresses, Baristas of different categories. Then companies partners or bosses. Etc. Such types of companies will usually pay very low salaries because of unnecessary positions leading to high labor cost.

Calling all chefs and hospitality enthusiasts!📣 Lately, I've noticed something troubling happening in the industry, especially in prestigious places across the UK, including London. Many kitchens have lost their head chef and a big chunk of their team. Instead of hiring experienced chefs to keep things running smoothly, they've been opting for less experienced ones, often leaving just one Chef de Partie to manage everything. This makes me wonder: Is this a common issue elsewhere too? Now, don't get me wrong – I'm all for giving new talent a chance. But shouldn't we also value the knowledge that comes with experience? After all, it's the experienced chefs who maintain high standards and strive for top awards. Plus, they can pass down their expertise to the less experienced ones, paving the way for a brighter future in hospitality. So, what's your take on this? Have you seen similar situations in your workplace? Let's chat about finding the right balance between nurturing new talent and holding onto the seasoned pros. The kitchen is the heart of any good establishment, and it's essential to keep it strong and thriving! 💪🍽️ #Hospitality #Chef #ChefLife #FoodIndustry #LetsTalk
