Did You Know? Michelin Stars was started by a tire Company
Do you know that a tire company gives Michelin stars? Not kidding! The French tire company Michelin started rating restaurants in its guidebooks for travelers nearly a century ago. It was a clever attempt to boost sales, which became fierce culinary expertise over the years. 😋
Finding meaningful ways to grow
Now, if you propose a food rating service to a tire business, they are unlikely to find it appetizing. However, this old tradition of Michelin rating outlines one idea very clearly: growth is not a one-shot game. It’s ongoing. For managers, three key insights are evident –
Learn constantly
Michelin stars are awarded every year. Restaurants must maintain their standards to retain their stars, year after year. Similarly, management and leadership are dynamic areas. While you may master some aspects once, there are others that you’ll need to keep updating as time passes. And even the best ones may need some polishing from time to time. 🍎
Evolve with time
Michelin’s rating system has changed since its first implementation. While the earlier ones focused primarily on food quality, the new ones consider many more factors, including service quality and sustainability, which matter today. On the same note, your managerial approach must evolve as your career progresses and a new generation of workers finds a home in your teams. 🍳
Perception matters
Why do we even care about Michelin-starred restaurants? You’d say they’re Michelin! That’s reputation talking. We trust Michelin to be good at their job, impartial, and reliable.
Similarly, it would help if you cultivated a perception of reliability and impartiality in your actions to build a reputation that allows people to trust you without doubting it much. Demonstrating those qualities consistently makes them a part of your identity and helps you craft a unique and impeccable brand. 🍰
