Is giving your best team member the manager title actually the best idea for you (or them)?

On this episode of the Restaurant Growth Accelerator podcast, I dig into one of the most common restaurant leadership mistakes I see and how to fix it:

Taking a great team member and making them a manager. Before long, tasks are getting missed, other team members stop doing what they should, and standards slide.

We cover the two things new managers struggle with most and why a hard conversation is easier the first time than the tenth.

 I share the story of a great supervisor who walked in with a resignation letter because he didn’t want to “rat out” a coworker. Plus, why a four-week transition beats an overnight promotion, what to look for before you promote anyone, and why owners need to stop rescuing their managers too.
