Weak Chef vs. Strong Chef
In the kitchen, leadership shows itself every single day-not just in the food we serve, but in the way we manage pressure, people, and
passion.
A weak chef
Blames the team when things go wrong
Hides knowledge to stay "superior"
Cracks under pressure and spreads panic
Sees cooking as just a job
A strong chef
Takes responsibility and protects the team
Shares skills and lifts others up
Stays calm when the fire is on, leading by example
Sees cooking as a craft, a purpose, and a lifestyle
At the end of the day, food tells the story-but the kitchen culture tells the truth.
