Cooking is a great tension release practice, is a fantastic way to demonstrate love and care, and is a terrific analogy maker. There is a French expression, mise en place, which means having every ingredient chopped, weighed, and measured and every utensil at hand before starting cooking. This expression perfectly adapts to almost every work situation and, indeed, to good leadership. 

In this episode, we think about how to apply mise en place at work and incorporate this approach into our leadership. We look at a few examples of setting the field to facilitate our job as leaders, make our operations run smoothly, and increase productivity. We learn how to use the French expression in our one-on-one meetings, organize our office, onboard new employees, and even set our new year's resolutions.
