Top Head Chef skills needed to get the job.

What are the top 3 traits or skills every Head Chef must have to excel?

Can you suggest any tips or insights to develop your Head Chef expertise?

My experience has shown be that 3 critical skills every Head Chef or "manager" needs are:
1. Effective and accepted outstanding interpersonal dynamics, with team,guests,other dept. heads and corporate or ownership staff.
2. A set of management skills; including but not limited to:
a. computer literacy ( microsoft office suite)outstanding English and grammar for email and all other comunnications,highly skilled delegator and time manager, team builder, motivatior,coach and leader who consistenly achieves product and service quality according to unit specs. Very comfortable with taking and extending inventory and finding problems with solutions. Payroll.
3. Outstanding training skills, guest pr skills in dining room and the ability to do whatever it takes to make a solution to a guest problem more emotionally lasting than the problem itself.
Though one Chef's 3 top prioriies may change from anothers based upon the type of food service establishment. THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION IS TO ASK YOUR SELF; WHAT ARE THE 3 KEY RESULT AREAS THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS AFFECTED BY.
