There is no recipe for a successful business. The ingredients are somewhat known but the measurements definitely vary.
The recipe for a company culture is as simple or as intricate as you make it, and the place where you build your success can truly be a delectable one.
How can food have a positive impact on your company culture? We will talk grab and go, sit and linger and celebratory toasts. I also offer my favorite ideas for foodie themed team builders: try the no bake bake challenge.
We will talk food as a way of 1. reward, 2. growing personal relationships at work, 3. building trust, and 4. growing collaboration. Food can bring your team together in a delicious way! I throw in my love of donuts and cupcakes too!

EMPATHETIC LEADERSHIP: ALLOWING EMPLOYEES TO CRY PRETTY
1 RecommendationsWe think all leaders should know how to lead in a time of crisis; however, that is only the case if they have at least this one critical element in their leadership toolbox, and that is empathy. You don't have to have gone through the exact experience as an employee to respect and care for their situation. Empathy is more than relating.
Takeaway from the episode how to be an empathetic leader by listening (silence is uncomfy but OK), read cues, and have tissues, lots and lots of tissues on hand.
Never let them see you cry (at work) is a thing of the past. Now leaders can be better prepared. Waterproof mascara and tissues are a great option for staff, but even better is knowing that your boss is there for you.
