Christ the Savior Orthodox Church and Charlie Baggs Culinary Innovations team helping to prepare meals for 300 people for our annual Thanksgiving charity. These meals will be served in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, to families who have lost loved ones to gun violence. It is a great time of year to reflect on what you are grateful for, and help those who could use it. Don’t forget to hug your loved ones. 🙏❤️☦️ #CBCI #Thanksgiving

25 Lessons in 25 Years: Lesson Fifteen    Minimize hierarchy.    I learned by observing other companies and from owning my own that by minimizing a hierarchical culture, you create an environment that encourages open communication and collaboration.    When team members feel empowered to share their ideas and feedback, it fosters innovation and creativity. I have watched it not only enhances team dynamics but also leads to more effective problem-solving.     By Embracing a flatter organizational structure, it allows everyone to contribute their unique perspectives, ultimately driving success and engagement for the team. 

25 Lessons in 25 Years: Lesson Fourteen    Honor commitments.    I have learned that building a reputation for reliability and integrity is essential in today’s business landscape.    When you honor your commitments, you cultivate trust with clients, colleagues, and stakeholders. On the other hand, breaking promises or failing to fulfill obligations can lead to damaged relationships, lost opportunities, and a tarnished reputation.     Consistently delivering on your word not only strengthens your credibility but also sets a positive example for your team.     It is important to remember that your commitments are the foundation of your professional integrity!

25 Lessons in 25 Years    Hire to your weaknesses.    As a leader, it is essential to recognize and embrace your strengths. However, equally important is the need to understand your weaknesses.    By acknowledging areas where you may lack expertise, you can strategically hire individuals who complement your skill set. This approach not only strengthens your team but also fosters a culture of collaboration and growth.    Remember, building a diverse team that fills in your gaps is key to achieving success! #CulinaryInnovation #FoodIndustry #BusinessAdvice
