A great career needs great relationships

Anyone who has worked in hospitality knows it’s a pressured environment. Plans change without notice, things go wrong, customers can be unreasonable and staff can let you down. It’s a real go, go, go environment - it’s the main reason for the high turnover of staff. Also part of the reason for staff movement is the all too common irreconcilable differences between staff members. The crucial relationship between Head Chef and Venue Manager is one that is often neglected. If you can’t build these relationships and operate in a respectful and constructive manner then the business will suffer, your reputation will suffer and ultimately so will your employment prospects. Internal relationships are often overlooked, yet it is one of the most important factors in the longevity of your career. If your relationships are strong, then any little problem is manageable. Relationships are everything.

So what’s the key to maintaining healthy respectful relationships? The truth is it’s a bit of an art form, no two relationships are the same, but it all starts with empathy. If you can truly put yourself in the shoes of someone else then you will understand their motivations, their insecurities, their highs and their lows. If you start empathy, and a commitment to make it work, then everything will fall in to place.
