Kitchen Leader

What It Points To

People with this pattern bring order when work must move fast. They are not just doing their own task; they keep time clear so others know what to do next. You’d notice this in the one who points at the flashing oven timer and calmly sends the newest helper to set out twelve plates.

Integration property: Multiple parallel jobs finishing together to the right taste, on a deadline that doesn’t move
