Example: "I believe in a hands-on approach to training, where I work closely with new staff to teach them our kitchen's techniques and standards. I also organize regular workshops and bring in guest chefs to provide additional learning opportunities. For instance, I once organized a series of workshops on modern plating techniques, which significantly improved our presentation and received positive feedback from our guests. I also mentor my sous chefs, helping them to develop their leadership skills and prepare for future roles."
