You want to hire only the best right? Exactly. That’s why we’ve outlined the top ten characteristics of the best of the best. If you really want to bring success into your restaurant establishment or into your own life, here’s what the most successful ones around the world are believing and practicing.
- Self Will Power – Starting and doing the task on your own responsibility is hard. It’s not usually fun to get up and be the one to end the rest and get to work. Being a self-starter drives to results and success.
- Emotional Stability – When things go whack, how is the reaction? The best of the best are emotionally stable in all circumstances staying far away from gossip and drama.
- Loyalty – Honesty is the best policy, or so you may have heard. But really, the top employees are the loyal ones to not only their company of employment, but to co-workers and customers.
- Optimism – Fight depression, bad attitudes and misery with optimism. Attitudes are contagious; an attitude can either really be great and lift the mood of an evening in the BOH or tank it.
- Continual Communication – When communication is present, customers and co-workers alike learn to trust and respect what’s happening around them. Communicating is the key to success.
- Flexibility – When things don’t go as planned, the top hires do not fret but do whatever possible to change the circumstances and adapt for success regardless.
- Self Confidence – Not overly confident, but knowing the fine line of when self-confidence is needed, you’ll find the most successful people around the world are confident in their skills, knowledge and abilities.
- Well Networked – The best of the best know who to contact when help is needed. Being well networked with those inside and out of the hospitality industry leads to greater knowledge and success.
- Reader – The reader is the leader. The more known, the greater the ability to lead well, try new things and respond to circumstances appropriately.
- Compassionate – The highly successful ones in the world have and show great compassion to others around them when facing struggles in and out of the workplace.
