Leadership Coaching
Coaching turns managers into leaders. Improve communication skills, reduce stress, increase productivity, enhance teamwork, improve the guest and team experience...all these are benefits of a leadership coaching program that is customized for your restaurant.
The world's best leaders were simultaneously exceptionally talented, skilled, determined, and aware that they could be better. And they understood the value of a great coach to help them improve themselves. Great CEOs like Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, and Bill Gates all sought out great coaches to help them up their game.
“Every famous athlete, every famous performer has somebody who is a coach… to give them perspective. One thing others are never good at is seeing themselves as others see them. A coach really really helps!” - Eric Schmidt
Understand Team Dynamics
When you are building your team, you will need to take into consideration the behavioral strengths of those you surround yourself with. Well-balanced teams need people that each have one of the cornerstone behavioral strengths as their natural strengths. The universe seeks balance. Your restaurant needs balance also. Leveraging behavior involves understanding your people at their core behavioral strengths. When behavior is understood and integrated, restaurants can maximize their potential. The ProScan® Behavioral Survey is key to improving communication, reducing conflict, increasing productivity, and enhancing leadership within your restaurant.
