On today's episode of The QSR guru Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you become the quick service restaurant leader you are meant to be. Tricia brings a topic to us that she has been working through lately, and found a pretty cool solution to and that is finding joy in your work.

We're all going to run into those situations where we're a little bit frustrated. Maybe we think it's time for a change, maybe we're just in a bad headspace for a day or two, whatever it is, you're going to have those days or those weeks, those months, maybe even years, where you're just not in the game.

Tricia has been there the last week or so. And she found a really interesting way to get out of it and to find some happiness in her day. The way she went about doing that, is by talking to people, of all things, something that we've preached a million times on this podcast, talking to your team and getting to know them.

She spends her time every single day, getting to know everyone because she normally works during the day. But the last week or so she's had some closing shifts, she's had some mid shifts. So she's getting to meet some of that night crew that she doesn't know that well. And she's going out of her way to make sure that the next time they see her, they remember her and they know her and they know that they can come to her for anything that they need.

This is a very powerful message that she shares today of just making sure that you make a great impression on your team. Because as a leader, you're not going to be in there all the time. You might not know everyone that depends on the volume of your restaurant. But in my case and Tricia's case, Tricia has at least 50 team members, I have over 100 At the moment, or very shortly, I'm not going to remember all of them if I don't put in the effort to get to know them, and go out of my way and they're not going to remember me unless I make a great impression on them.

That is not only awesome for the business, awesome for you awesome for the team. That is a great way to find some joy in your work every single day. So if you're struggling to find a little bit of happiness at work, try it go out of your way to get to really know one of your team members every single day and see what happens to your attitude.

So for that and so much more. Listen to today's episode of The QSR guru Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you become the quick service restaurant leader you were meant to be.
