The Leadership Gap

Most restaurant maanagers are taught how to run a shift. Few are taught how to lead people. Drawing from 25 years of experience as a hospitality executive, Restaurant Leadership explores the mindset, habits, and leadership principles that help build stronger teams, healthier cultures, and more effective leaders.

Whether you're a new manager or an experienced operator, the lessons inside are designed to help you lead with greater awareness, accountability, and purpose.

“Six months into my first Regional Director role, a chef I'd known for four years sat me down and asked me what his daughter's name was. I didn't know. That moment changed everything about how I lead.”

— Justin Cohen, Restaurant Leadership

“Few people speak about leadership in hospitality with the clarity and authenticity that Justin does. He leads with empathy, purpose, and heart.”

— Steve Chucri, President & CEO, Arizona Restaurant Association
