"Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive edge, both because it is so powerful and so rare."
— Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team
You have a passion for success. We want to show you how to feed it with some fundamental lessons in team building through cooking together.
So, you might ask, what exactly are the benefits of employees working together as a team? Here are just a few:
They are motivated.
They inspire each other.
They are more creative.
They challenge each other to improve.
They work together to solve problems and make better decisions.
They respect and care about each other, their work and their company.
Everyone loves to eat, but not everyone knows how to cook. By teaming managers and employees in a friendly culinary competition, with a master chef and a professional facilitator to guide them, the playing field is leveled and new dynamics emerge. That means new potential for creativity, problem solving, communication, cooperation and inspiration. As a result, your team will take you to the cutting edge of business competition and bring ultimate success.
"We went away with increased knowledge and skills we can use for work and personal lives. Learning is much more conducive when we work as a team to have a common goal — cooking!"
— Kacey Chun, Human Resource Director
"What a fun and effective way to learn to engage and work as a team. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!"
