#CultureEatsStrategyOnBreakfast Peter Drucker, a big name in management, once said, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." What he meant was that the way people work together (culture) is more crucial than just having good plans (strategy). For example, think of a company with a brilliant strategy written on paper, but everyone ignores it because they don't work well together. On the other hand, a company with a strong culture of teamwork and trust can adapt and succeed even if their plans aren't perfect. Drucker's point is simple: a great strategy is useless if the people and the way they work together don't support it. That's why focusing on building a positive and effective culture is essential for any organization's success… #Strategy #Corporate #Culture #Success #PeterDrucker #Leaders #Management

Culture eats strategy for breakfast, right? But... breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it's crucial to make time before your culture starves :) All joking aside, this concept aligns two things I enjoy Parkinson’s Law and Good to Great by targeting ‘activity’ as a poor aspiration. Sometimes it is important to get distance from the 'urgent' to make space. If Strategy Is So Important, Why Don’t We Make Time for It? (hbr.org)

Identify the critical tasks, and the high-impact moves that propel your restaurant towards success, and concentrate your resources there with laser-like focus. Busy is a mirage, a trap that lures the unwary into a false sense of productivity. True progress comes from ruthless prioritization, from mastering the art of separating the vital few from the trivial many. Picture your restaurant as a battlefield, your resources as soldiers – you cannot afford to send them chasing butterflies when the enemy is pounding at the gates. No, you must deploy them with surgical precision, wielding the scalpel of focus to carve a path through the chaos and emerge victorious. Tap the link in the bio to unlock the secrets of ruthless resource deployment. #RestaurantSuccess #FocusedLeadership #ProductivityOverBusy

My family love waffles! "Hey this is LinkedIn... who cares what you like to eat." This is about waffles as a metaphor for work/life. If that seems a stretch; consider what many of us think or say... "I'm super busy... and I need to be more productive!" How is it possible to hold onto both ends of this at the same time? Consider the humble waffle. When we gather as a family to enjoy waffles, our waffle iron is arguably super busy and fully productive. A cup of batter is added and 4 minutes later one delicious, perfectly cooked waffle is ready to eat. But the rest of us are waiting our turn. Can we not just squeeze more from this overworked device? Well... we can add more batter hoping for a bigger waffle to share, but the extra batter just oozes out onto the counter as an unappetizing blob. We can shorten the cooking time to say 3 minutes, but then it's undercooked and mushy (aka poor quality product). So what do we do? We talk, sip coffee, play with grand-kids, munch fruit, and enjoy each other's company and the experience. (aka make the most of what's available) Are you finding stuff is oozing out the side of your work creating a gooey mess on the counter? Is the quality of your work a bit undercooked and mushy? How much more are you trying to squeeze from that overworked device called YOU? If you're hungry to produce perfectly cooked, delicious, ready to eat results... but aren't sure how, drop me a line. #leader #leadership #burnout #coach https://lnkd.in/eUhs2n2

This is one of my biggest realizations. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀—𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 🏆 Danny Meyer's Setting the Table taught me that how we handle mistakes is far more important than the mistakes themselves. 💪 Instead of dwelling on errors, take a step back and see how you can turn setbacks into stepping stones. This shift in mindset can transform a simple apology into a powerful moment of connection. In the restaurant world, things go wrong—an order mix-up, a delayed service. You won’t be able to control everything. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱. That’s where real hospitality shines. 🌟 It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being human. Are you turning your slip-ups into standout moments? Drop them in the comments. Let’s chat about how we can elevate the guest experience, one connection at a time. Repost to inspire someone today! 🔄 #Hospitality #Leadership #CustomerExperience #DannyMeyer

You know how everyone's posting their perfect turkey prep timelines? Well, here's my Thanksgiving reality: I grab my kids and we hit up one of our favorite local spots. And it got me thinking about goal-setting... Just like I've embraced that cooking a full feast isn't my thing, I've learned that the "traditional" path isn't always the right one. But whether you're orchestrating a 20-dish homemade spread or making a reservation like me, one principle holds true: Breaking down big goals into small steps is the key to success. The master chef plans days ahead: - Brine turkey (Tuesday) - Chop veggies (Wednesday) - Time each dish (Thursday) I plan too, just differently: - Book reservation early - Coordinate with kids' schedules - Show up hungry 😉 In business, this same principle drives results. Start small. Start specific. And most importantly - start with what actually works for YOU. Sometimes the best strategy isn't following the traditional recipe - it's writing your own. What's your next big goal, and what's the smallest first step you could take today? #Leadership #PersonalDevelopment #AuthenticLeadership #WorkingParent #Thanksgiving https://lnkd.in/gqDG3wRY

When I was in grad school, I heard the phrase "culture trumps strategy" (and sometimes "culture eats strategy for breakfast") on a regular basis. On a related topic, I recently came across this article and I think it's a concise reflection on how best to establish/perpetuate a strong culture to serve as an effective foundation to any organization. Food for thought! #culture #bringingitalltogether #moveforward #leanin
