In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Amy Hom, a restaurant industry executive whose resume includes stops at brands like Red Robin, Sweetgreen, and Bluestone Lane. These days, a lot of Amy’s attention is on LEAD, the organization she cofounded with other restaurant executives that invests in future restaurant leaders. Amy joined the podcast to talk about LEAD and how the industry can lower turnover, particularly among GMs, if it did a better job investing in young leaders.  

In this conversation, you’ll find out why:

• By investing in emerging leaders, you can lower turnover 
• Young restaurant leaders need networking and education
• The restaurant industry has a work-life-balance problem 
• Your ability to receive feedback will determine how far you can go in any industry
• Your mentorship could help unlock the potential of a future restaurant star
