Meetings with Chris
Why: Why do I want to meet with you on a regular basis?
I want to build a relationship with you. I do not want to be the scary boss with a mad face. I want to be your friend. I want you to see me as your friend.
I want to help you grow personally and professionally. The meetings will challenge you to do things that make you uncomfortable but they are for your good.
I want you to be a leader in my business. Leaders are to be “Me” in the restaurant when I am not there and you can’t be like me if you do not know me.
What: What will the meetings look like?
About 20-30 minutes. You will be responsible for watching videos on MyCFA, listening to podcasts, or reading a chapter of a book at home and we will discuss what you learned.
This meeting is also for you to bring up anything you think I need to know. If you see a problem in the business or with people in the business, this is your chance to talk with me about it and tell me your ideas to solve it.
I will also teach you about leadership skills and problem solving during the meetings. If you are going to be a leader, you have to be able to solve problems.
How Long will these meetings go on?
We will meet for as long as you work here AND you want to keep growing. Leadership isn’t for everyone. You may start this journey and realize that this is not for you. It is hard. The Bible says that not everyone should be leaders because leaders are held to a higher standard. This will be true of you. I will expect you to produce results, solve problems, and grow personally and professionally. Feel free at any time to say, “I do not want to do this anymore.” You won’t get in trouble! You can be a Team Member and still be valuable to me!
I want to meet at least once per month. Use my calendar link on MyCFA to schedule the meeting. For, Example, If you are scheduled to work at 4, you can set a meeting with me at 3:30 or at 4 or at 4:30pm. We will get your time on the shift covered if needed.
