Our primary role as leaders is to help people become their best version, grow and evolve, become the best at what they do, to the point that they may leave our company for a job that represents a bigger, more fulfilling challenge. In other words, we want to inspire them, help them discover...

What if low salaries, the absence of benefits, or lack of training aren't the leading causes of the labor shortage almost every industry is experiencing? What if companies struggle to find collaborators not because people pursue higher payments but because many leaders still follow an archaic...

Sometimes, it is easy to get caught in the assumption that because we are the leaders, every answer should come from us. Making all the calls without consulting our team about alternative solutions to a problem or ignoring the ones suggested might shut them down. If we shut down our...

Cooking is a great tension release practice, is a fantastic way to demonstrate love and care, and is a terrific analogy maker. There is a French expression, mise en place, which means having every ingredient chopped, weighed, and measured and every utensil at hand before starting cooking. This...

Becoming better leaders is a daily job; it is about listening more carefully, understanding those we lead and their needs, and trusting and incentivizing their potential.

A couple of years ago, when our family was a small family of four, circumstances forced us to forget about traveling to my parent's house and spending Thanksgiving with them, as we were used to doing it every year. As we were getting ready to have a small celebration at home, an...

Although every dish has its own ingredients, a way of mixing them, and a specific cooking style, every cook will produce its unique version. If we look at grilled meat, for instance, a basic dish that requires just three elements: meat, fire, and a grill, we'll see no two countries cook it the...
