Today I break down six signals that help you spot a future leader in your shop. You will hear what ownership looks like on the floor, why caring about people matters, and how consistency, smart questions, and coachability separate the next captain from everyone else. I end with a simple play, give them small leadership reps and watch how they handle the work. Rate and review the show, then share it with one operator who needs this. New episodes all month for National Pizza Month. 

 What to do next
 • Give small reps, lead the pre-shift huddle, own the prep list, train a new hire, run cuttable during a rush, close out the night checklist.
 • Watch for adjustments, note one strength and one growth area after each rep.
 • Meet weekly, 10 minutes, review wins, set one next rep.
