I feel the show is naturally going to show a entrepreneurship minded viewer a few good things about running a business.

My 10 list inspired by Ramsay would look something like:
(1) Ensure the business’ unique advantage is sensible/good/attractive to customers
(2) Prioritize profits without hurting the product.
(3) Everyone must know their place: Owner, Manager, and Employee alike.
(4) Keep only competent employees who are willing to both communicate and improve.
(5) Triage tasks!
(6) Job competency is required. You have to be able to deliver desired results effectively.
(7) Be direct with everyone. Employees. Customers. Everybody.
(8) Solve problems creatively / outside-of-the-box thinking.
(9) Impact the customer positively / Have a sense of aesthetic / Schmooze appropriately
(10) At the end of the day, let there be love and respect for who your employees truly are while keeping professional distance.

As a Chef/Restauranteur I have learned to listen. Ramsey is all about listening. Continue to do what you do best and learn how to improve what you don’t do well. Ramsey is the Chef I would aspire to be.

Hi Verne,

Great post!

Gordan’s methods of implementing these rules are debatable, but the principles are sound.

One other ability that’s critical to business success and one that GR has in abundance is decisiveness!

Quickly evaluate opposing views, make an informed judgement, take a decision and follow it through to completion. If it succeeds great. If it fails, learn from it and move on and keep making those tough decisions.

I agree with the article that you wrote, everytime a failing business asks for help from gordon ramsay, he manages to turn the business around. And he’s always talking about SIMPLE food, SIMPLE. .lol
