The Skills Culinary School Didn’t Teach You
Marco is the cook everyone depends on. Promotion to sous chef seems like the obvious next step, until the new job asks him to handle people, preparation, training, and standards as well as the food. Working harder and rescuing every station turns out to be a poor substitute for learning to lead.
This Chef David Arnold Insight follows the difficult move from being an excellent cook to leading an entire kitchen. It explores the practical skills that help a new leader develop the team, handle difficult conversations, and keep service moving without doing everyone else’s work.
