When faced with a sudden rush or an unforeseen problem, quick decision-making becomes crucial. My leadership style is grounded in being both decisive and directive. I ensure that I can quickly assess the situation, identify solutions, and communicate instructions clearly to my team. This approach not only provides immediate solutions but also instills confidence in my staff, helping them stay focused and efficient even amid chaos. This allows me to guide my team through the most challenging circumstances, ensuring that operations continue smoothly and that we consistently deliver exceptional results.

I believe in adopting a more collaborative and supportive leadership style. This is a great opportunity to foster team spirit and a sense of community in the kitchen. I encourage open communication and ensure that everyone feels comfortable contributing their ideas. Instead of dictating, I take the time to teach and mentor my team. This approach not only strengthens our bond but also sparks creativity and helps develop everyone's skills, which ultimately pays off when things get busy.

Realizing this has help me instruct and be patient with staff, providing clear instruction and allowing for mistakes is upmost important, I always say is not about the mistake but what we do to correct it.
