Importance of people management for a Chef.
Executive Chef:
Being culinarily creative will be 20% of your job and managing people will be 80% of it. I strongly stress that leading, coaching and inspiring your cooks, sous chefs and dishwashers, communicating well with FOH, and continuously fine tuning your processes, organizational and administrative will be the way for you to excel.

You have to have a passion for people and food.

Demand of time.

Try to have your expected time management spelled out as clear as possible. How much at a desk, in the kitchen, on the floor, required responses in what amount of time.

I love my job!
Executive Chef:
Pros: I love planning and implementation of new programs/events, product lines and building my staff. I enjoy working with our customers to create awesome memories while adding value to our brand.
Cons: Sometimes inclement weather wipes out our garden and we have to start over with the less hearty herbs and heirloom tomatoes.
