Owning Your Style
MANAGING YOUR FRIENDS SERIES
Owning your
style
FOR
Waiters stepping up &
Shift Leaders
Discovering, understanding and harnessing the leadership style you already have, before you start trying to manage others.
Team members want authentic leaders, not a “job-description-on-legs”, but that requires high emotional intelligence and self awareness. In this session we offer three different viewpoints to “audit” your natural leadership style.
1. Your thinking style
A stripped down version of the Herrmann Brain Dominance psychometric profile to help you understand how your own thinking preferences affect you, and your team.
2. The culture you create
Breaking down two of the most common environments created by managers:
• Social & Emotional, or the “matey manager” – hoping people will do what you say through a sense of loyalty and friendship.
• Command & Control, or the “bossy manager” – hoping to mask insecurity by talking a lot and being overly managerial.
3. Your confidence
The Confidence Leadership Frame: Using behavioural science, we look at the power of ambition & intrinsic motivation, and how it helps get your team behind you.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completion of the workshop:
- An understanding of David Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence frame.
- Practice applying thinking styles into real life hospitality situations.
- A new “language” to understand difficult relationships in the team.
- An understanding of the long term impacts of both the Social & Emotional and Command & Control environments.
- Applying “ambition” as the ultimate driver of engagement and team “buy-in”.

The STEPHEN WATERS FOUNDATION
Our Founder – Stephen Waters – passed away suddenly in 2025 after nearly 20 years of running Watershed. He delivered development courses to over 4000 bar & restaurant managers.
Watershed was underpinned by his staunch belief in the power of coaching, and that the best leaders know how to skilfully use it.
