This is a new age where enlightened leadership is essential for effectiveness as a manager.
Most dietary managers possess a high level of technical skill and expertise.
The value of technical skills is not to be denied, but the talent to direct and lead others is yet another domain of skill and ability. The leader must work with groups of people in the department, an executive team member, or with a task force. Managers are responsible for seeing that everyone is swimming in the same direction, synchronized, and zeroed in on an identical destination. Your leadership effectiveness and ability can be measured. Take a moment to think who might be that person.
