Welcome to our leadership development system for emerging Senior Team Members, Trainers, Operations Leaders, and Senior Leaders. Learn the knowledge. Develop your character. Validate understanding. Apply the principles. Lead the Team.
The core pathway of leadership development journeys through two key passages.
Moving from owning your own work and growth to taking responsibility for the people on your team.
Moving from directly leading a team to developing and stewarding other leaders who lead teams.
Every week of every development plan reinforces these six pillars — character, servant leadership, strategy, culture, people, and adaptability.
Learn the HEART of leadership and the keys to building influence, trust, and healthy relationships.
Leadership is not defined by position, but by who is willing to SERVE others at the highest level.
Leveraging our Team of Teams to Win Hearts Every Day through Operational Excellence and Second Mile Service.
Living our foundation and core values to create milestone moments for our team and our guests.
Identifying potential and helping people grow to be their best.
Our posture and capacity to solve problems quickly and proactively when conditions change.
Every role serves one of three functions. Understanding which you're in — and which is next — is where leadership begins.
Doing the work. The hands-on craft of delivering for every guest, every shift.
Managing the work. Coordinating teams, shifts, and outcomes to keep the system in balance.
Setting direction. Casting vision and charting the course for the whole restaurant.
Five stages. Front of House and Back of House share the same path — with role-specific development plans at each stage.
