Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The chef supervisor must be dedicated to development of the individual as well as success of the
enterprise. The chef supervisor must be a coach. As in all good coaching, the coach tries to get
the best possible performance from the team through motivation, training, leadership
communication, and demonstrating respect for all the team players with an acute awareness of
their different strengths and weaknesses. Being sympathetic and approachable is clearly an asset.
The chef supervisor should have the ability to understand the feelings, attitudes, and motives of
others; communicate effectively; and establish good relations with the kitchen team and all other
departments in the foodservice organization.

The successful chef supervisor's personal mise en place will include positive mental attitude;
enthusiasm toward work; innovativeness in dealing with problems; honesty and sincerity;
awareness of employee problems; respect and courtesy in communicating with employees;
impeccable personal hygiene and grooming; technical competence; high motivation with the
ability to motivate others; consistency; assertive and action-oriented personality; tolerance of
diversity in the kitchen; ability to trust others; constant search for new ways to enhance skills;
ability to praise others when deserved; leadership by example; team-building skills; loyalty
toward organizational goals and employees; love of cooking; ability to maintain control; good
listening skills; desire to please the customer; good persuasive skills; and interest in imparting
knowledge. The chef supervisor must consistently adhere to a high ethical standard and practice
the highest level of professionalism.
