I was thinking this morning about goal-setting and how many of our chefs out there have aims and goals in their life which they are working towards completing. At Chefs In Scotland we set daily and monthly targets which we aim to meet and then review at the end of the month.
Although I knew I wouldn’t always be a chef I always aimed to be a head chef and I now know after speaking to lots of the junior chefs starting out in their career that seems to be a common goal. They want to gain experience and eventually run their own team of chefs also. I think that vital to this is not only your cooking ability but your management skills and willingness to learn to make it to the top.
How many of our chefs out there have set career goals and have either completed them or are on their way to completing? How did you go about planning your goal to see success?
