A leader explains why being nice isn't enough in a restaurant kitchen. Clear standards and tough personnel decisions matter more than making everyone comfortable. You can be kind and still enforce expectations.
I've seen you evolve since you started the program and stuff like that, but how would you think your leadership has evolved, your leadership style maybe since departing, come to the TRC community?
Okay, so, yeah, the number one thing, because my flaw is that I'm too nice, you know, as a leader. And I'm sure that's what you were thinking when you asked that question. Because I'm, you know,
it was. You got.
Yeah, because I just be like, that's okay, honey. You know, we'll do better next time. And then it's like, you're not running a daycare, you're running a restaurant. You know, and, you know, I can still keep that kind energy with the way that I lead my team. You know, no one's asking me to turn into Nazi all of a sudden, you know, but to, you know, hey, these are the expectations. These are the standards. You know, let me help you get there. If we're not reaching it, but then, you know, after so many times, you know,
we have to make changes. Time to shake hands and go our separate ways, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Because it's not doing anybody any favors. It's, you know, hurting the person that you're keeping in that position because they know that they can't succeed. It's hurting, you know, everyone else in the environment, in the workflow. It's hurting the customers, you know, so, hey, you know, we're leveling up.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
