Bakur Grigoryan<\/a> \u2013 F&B Director<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em>\u201cThe Leader should have an ability to \u2018manage changes\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

To manage Food and Beverage department of one of the best hotels of Yerevan should be very responsible job. What are the most important things you must pay attention in your position?<\/em><\/p>\n

One might think that good Director of F&B needs to be \u201cbig picture person only\u201d. That\u2019s true, to a certain extent. When you\u2019re at the top, it\u2019s important to think of larger goals and not get bogged down in the weeds\u2026
\nHowever, excellent leaders take details seriously too. They recognize that they must demand quality work from their subordinates.
\nObviously, it\u2019s not pleasant to have to fire or discipline someone, but leaders don\u2019t want to risk one bad apple spoiling the bunch\u2026
\nAlso, is very important to have ability to roll with changes: Change can be exciting, but it isn\u2019t always easy. It\u2019s up to great leaders to remain open minded to new approaches and determine what workplace changes are worth pursuing.
\nThe ability to \u201cmanage change\u201d is a desirable trait in the CPI personality tests, which measures leadership potential.<\/p>\n
