En mi corta carrera de líder en la restauración y en el proyecto del que actualmente formo parte y dirijo, me he dado cuenta que he recorrido un corto camino pero con miles de experiencias tanto negativas como positivas. En este transcurso he avanzado teniendo una visión analítica de cada situación: cuáles eran mis cualidades clasificando puntos fuertes y sobre todo los débiles, con el propósito de poder trabajar en ellos y encontrar nuevas alternativas. En definitiva los aspectos fuertes son los que nos brindan estabilidad y confianza en el puesto, pero los débiles son oportunidades reales de aprendizaje y progreso, los cuales potencian el crecimiento e imagen de líderes, generando mucho más adhesión por parte de nuestros colaboradores.

We are all leaders, no matter how you look at a tasks whether it be your vision, the outcome will always depend on the people around you and how you treat, respect there position to be able to understand your visions and mission.. for me, empower the people who you trust, believe in and you will always receive back what you yourself gives… todays behaviour and state of mind for work force has changed dramatically and for one to have a voice and be respected whatever role there in, every element will always / should be acknowledging.

This is a key managerial skill. You can learn multiple skills, be an effective communicator and an inspirational leader but you need to be able to identify your key goals and what you things can get your team to do. Letting go of some tasks gives you time to fulfil your own key performance targets but just as important empowers your team to develop and grow themselves. Being a leader means managing a group of individuals however big or small, into meeting organisational targets but it also means guiding and supporting your team's personal development.

Gain a mentor / tutor, to support assist. Think of your CV and work experience and wisdom like a petrol tank being filled with more and more knowledge over the years. So once you stop seeing learning and gain wisdom it can be tough. Nothing beats getting bliss yo a Master and learning from a mentor.

We all crave feed-back, usually on a 1 dimensional aspect.. we do things that we like, others hate it???ever come across that moment..like I believe in, if you like it yourself, then that’s all that really counts.. the thoughts and views off others will always defuse or heighten the effort of you work or behaviour. Feed-back is only a device to have an opinion from some else perspective.. ensure you take the positive voices that your mind registers.. if someone likes it..then good.. if someone hates it, then that’s good too.. feed back into days world is very blurred as it’s built on a state of mind that it’s truly human nature.. to give true recognition and feed-back there are 3 things.. Stay Humble + emotional Connect + Sincerity

My personal experience share a mentorship spirit with charges under your command. The ideal successful candidate uses their experience to raise the bar instructing, and on a “You’re great at…” campaign building employee confidence. Also in the kitchen pressuring environment you need to have Grace Under Pressure, maintaining a cool demeanor and calm even tone when addressing your staff. The menu plays might feel like a four alarm fire drill, but as leader you must keep a cool head!

This section is crucial to enriches, not monetary aspects.. it’s about knowing clearly how you view yourself, not against others. The saying of ‘dare to be like someone else’. Well, this is something I can’t accept, we all have a different journey we take, however all our journeys share 1 common thread, we all experiences the same emotions not matter how you look at things.. just at different points. To learn and grow is not about what we materially want, it’s about what we craze inside to be rich.. My ethos has not changed since I was 16 years old and I still believe in it because keeps me where i / who I truly am..”don’t be afraid of being you, be afraid of being like everyone else..,
