Para muitos que operam a liderança de estabelecimentos de alimentação, o “botar a mão na massa” é a regra. O foco na operação vem em primeiro lugar, até porque estamos de olho no estabelecimento, trabalhando com os colaboradores, e nossa atenção se volta aos clientes. No passado, esse modelo funcionava bem porque, de certa forma, o estabelecimento evoluía junto com a interação com os clientes, por meio do boca a boca, que era lento. Mas agora, no ambiente hiperconectado, a liderança do estabelecimento sofre com as vozes do ambiente externo: as vozes dos clientes e dos fornecedores, e também de uma liderança estratégica que, sutilmente, diz o que fazer, como fazer e quando fazer.
