Leadership Lessons from a Chef is about creating excellence in the professional kitchen. Here the difference between good and great comes down to the details, and attention to these details comes from the right attitude reaching across all staff. A good culinary manager, according to author and award-winning Certified Executive Chef Charles Carroll, skillfully cultivates this attitude for success, and so leads the way toward kitchen excellence.

Using stories and examples drawn from his many years' experience, Chef Carroll gives you a leader's tour through the working kitchen. Offering proven wisdom in plainspoken terms instead of abstract management theories, the practical tools and ideas found in this groundbreaking book can be used immediately to motivate and develop an effective team environment among kitchen staffs.

Reviews for Leadership Lessons From a Chef: Finding Time to Be Great

(The contents of) the splendid CD recording ... are listed at the front of the book. And what a book it is. Finally, three centuries after his death, Buxtehude has gotten his long-delayed due between two covers, updated and written in an accessible and coherent manner, ready to be referred to and bookmarked by all who love, perform, or just enjoy listening to this master's splendid music... Even if you own the earlier long out-of-print version, put this one beside it for its many updates. And if you've tired of borrowing that earlier one from a library, here's the chance to put this valuable resource on your own bookshelves for handy reference. --THE AMERICAN ORGANIST (Barbara Owen) (Snyder) writes engagingly throughout and provides a rich array of musical examples and descriptions. --Julie Anne Sadie, EARLY MUSIC A model of modern music biography. --George Stauffer, JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MUSICOLOGICAL SOCIETY Worthy of its subject, perhaps, as few other books can really claim to be. --Stephen Daw, MUSICAL TIMES Snyder's prose is commendably clear, making the book accessible to the lay reader and also illuminating for the specialist... The organ tracks (on the CD) have been newly recorded by Hans Davidsson... Elegantly typeset... A welcome reissue of an authoritative and highly readable text on one of the main figures of the German Baroque. --Stephen Rose, EARLY MUSIC (Includes a CD) of Buxtehude's music in first-class performances... A vast amount of solid and absolutely sound scholarship and documentation (150 pages of appendices)... The book itself is very readable. --EARLY MUSIC REVIEW One of the best volumes about the life and times of a musician ever to appear in English. Its survey of Buxtehude's world is a must for anyone studying the baroque... Summing Up: Essential. All readers; all levels. --CHOICE, Jane Ambrose A wonderful book... This is the bible about Buxtehude. If you want to know anything about Buxtehude, this is the book to get. ...An absolute must. --BBC CD REVIEW, Nick Morgan
