In the culinary world, a chef's knife roll is more than a tool kit—it's a symbol of preparation, versatility, and personal responsibility. Using the metaphor of the knife roll to explore core leadership principles in the kitchen, Chef Stuart (née Bast) will help you unpack your leadership style, identify the tools relied on most, and discover what might be missing from your roll. Whether you're working on clearer communication or stronger team direction, this fast chat will help culinary leaders lead with more clarity and confidence.
