Hospitality Confidential’s Post

When I'm selecting staff in the position of SUPERVISOR, ASSISTANT MANAGER or MANAGER usually i tend to delve into the profiles of those who really started from the bottom and are capable of tackling the restaurant sector with patience and determination. If normally the hierarchical pyramid of the restaurant staff foh is commis waiter, waiter, senior waiter, head waiter, normally spending a minimum of two years in the role before getting a promotion, only "if deserved" , I wonder how you manage to have already held a position at 25yo role of Supervisor or ass Manager? There are two things, either the CV is fake or someone unprofessionally recommended you and covered your back. Having said this, it is clear that in a dysfunctional context where there is no experience and maturity necessary in a Leadership role, you risk burning out a talented young person, subjecting your senior staff with a lower position to greater workloads and stress and embarrassing situations where they have to coach an employee to a higher level, and wear out your job. Many people are recruited or promoted into Leadership position without understanding the fundamental philosophy of leadership. One must remember that the talents that make a person successful in a previous non - leadership role are rarely the same ones that will make them excel as leaders. This is why we have many companies - restaurants grossly over managed and severly under led. The recruitment process is fundamental to evaluate after the skills and experience of the candidate, the maturity, work ethic, integrity, emotional intelligence, loyality and respect for the others employee positions gained with ages of service. When you are a leader you re no longer responsible for doing the job, you are responsible for inspiring, coaching, mentoring and motivating your team to become the very best version of themselves which will help them produce their best work. It's all about Leadership, it's all about People. You get the right people, you get the right behavior and the right environment. #hr #jobseeker #cv #recruitment #experience #senior #career #development #hospitality #qualify #leader #leadership #growth #loyal #company #managment #manager #supervisor #position #merit #meritocracy #hotel #hotellerie #quotes #linkedin #post
