TL;DR
A restaurant owner emphasizes the importance of building the right team and looking beyond experience when hiring employees for massive restaurant success. The owner shares a personal experience to illustrate this point in a recent episode.
However, curating an executive team that can not only lead but manage a diverse group of employees seems to be a task equivalent to landing on the moon.
A restaurant owner trying to pull this team together — along with all of the other demands placed on them — may be overwhelmed and ultimately hire people just to get the positions filled. But this (building the right team) isn’t a task to be hurried, and its importance should not be underestimated.
Furthermore, you will have more success in the long run when you look at more than just someone’s experience. You will win big when you give people chances and really believe in the people you hire.
In this week’s show, I share a personal, real-life experience of mine to illustrate this point.
If you are a restaurant owner, restaurant manager, or restaurant leader, you MUST check out this episode. It might just change a whole lot for you (and the people you lead).
