Titel:Some like it HauteSubtitel:Lessons in Leadership, Ambition and Success from the World's Great ChefsAuteur:Katharina BalazsUitgeverij:Articulate PressUitvoering:Paperback, 224 pagesISBN:978-19-058-7906-9Behind the exceptional success of three-star restaurants we can find the great chefs, with their particular personality characteristics, their behaviour patterns, their entrepreneurial streak. These visionary leaders create value because they are not satisfied with "feeding" their clients; what they really want to achieve is to fulfil their clients' dream through exceptional quality and great creativity. Doubly talented, they are at the same time micro-managers and general managers who transform their restaurants into temples of culinary art thanks to both a panoramic vision of the organization and a sharp eye for details. These chefs are exceptionally talented in "sniffing out" future food trends before others while continuously adapting their organization to the requirements of the institutional environment. This book is an in-depth analysis of the success of the great chefs (French and non-French) and provides practical advice for other organizations, in different fields, who want to cultivate organizational excellence.
