5. "H.E- Commercial cooking NC III"
Compassion: Everyone Makes
Mistakes, Be Understanding
 Mistakes happen--especially in the kitchen.
 The chefs who understand and accept this fact
are better prepared to figure out what went
wrong and put a plan in place to fix it.
 If you fly off the handle and start yelling every
time a mistake is made, you're likely to lose the
support of your kitchen staff and colleagues.
They might become embarrassed, flustered, or
insecure--all of which tend to lead to more
mistakes.

6. "H.E- Commercial cooking NC III"
Respect: These are your
Colleagues, Treat them Like It
 In the heat of the moment, when the smoke is
billowing through the kitchen and the orders are
coming in hot, it can be easy to lose your cool.
 But it's no excuse for being disrespectful.
 You may be the executive chef, head chef, or
sous chef, but at the end of the shift (and at the
beginning and in the middle) everyone in the
kitchen is on the same team and working
towards the same goals.

7. "H.E- Commercial cooking NC III"
Brevity: Time is Precious in the
Kitchen, Don’t Waste it
 The ability to communicate clearly and concisely
is a skill shared by all great chefs. Even Gordon
Ramsay doesn't bother wasting a lot of words
when he's yelling at someone in the kitchen.
 Belaboring mistakes or going into long-winded
dissertation about what you’re working on
doesn't work in the kitchen. Learning to quickly
get your point across ensures that you and your
colleagues can keep plates rolling out to the
waitstaff without missing a beat

8. "H.E- Commercial cooking NC III"
Brevity: Time is Precious in the
Kitchen, Don’t Waste it
 Everyone in a kitchen has a role to play, and
everyone's role typically dependent on someone
else. That's why it's so important to be able to
listen to what your colleagues are saying--
especially if you are the boss.
 food moving and identify possible shortages.
But you will only know this and be able to
respond correctly if you listen.

9. "H.E- Commercial cooking NC III"
Listening: Working With your
Colleagues Means Listening To
Them
 Everyone in a kitchen has a role to play,
and everyone's role typically dependent on
someone else. That's why it's so important
to be able to listen to what your
colleagues are saying--especially if you are
the boss.

10. "H.E- Commercial cooking NC III"
Consistency: Be the Dependable
Communicator your Team can
Count On
 Every great team shares information, ideas and
concerns--and they do it on a regular basis.
 Consistent communication--whether through weekly
meetings, text messages, or a staff noticeboard--
keeps everyone on the same page. It reduces
surprises. And most importantly, it provides an
opportunity for you to address concerns, recognize
excellence and set clear expectations.
