It's listening.
I want someone who can listen.
I want someone who can take notes.
I want someone who wants to be better and wants to learn.
And really any of that is -- those are more key to me and just showing
up to work every day is ironically enough a huge benefit as an employee.
I follow about a thousand different jobs on Instagram.
I think I probably buy a book on Amazon once every two weeks.
I find chefs that I like, things that they're doing.
I go to all of the National Restaurant Association shows.
I'm part of the ACF; and so, I attend those.
When I get a chance if I get some free time, I'll go out to different restaurants.
I'll try new things.
I'll see what other people are doing and kind of stay up on it.
And I think a big thing as far as [inaudible] chef would be you have to be able
to manage people and understand people because not everybody learns the same way
and not everybody handles situations the same way, and you have to be able
to place those people in the right positions in order for them to succeed
and making them succeed in turn makes you succeed.
