Beat It
By
I’m in Atlanta today, and made a point of having lunch at Ted’s Montana Grill. If you’ve never had one of their Bison burgers, then you still haven’t tasted the true potential of a burger. I love ‘em.
In addition, if you’re lucky, you can sit at the bar right in front of the kitchen. Those guys don’t hold back, and it’s great.
Today, I witnessed true leadership. The guy working the bar for lunch came into the kitchen area (they’re connected) and started complaining about something, dishing out ways things should be done better around there. On and on. The guy I assume was the head chef let him go on for a little while, then finally just looked up and said “Beat it.”
It was as if someone had pushed the mute button. It was dead silent, and the bartender simply turned around and went back to work.
When you can make things happen with just two words, you’re doing something right.
