Are you a decision maker? Do you allow your team to make decisions and push them to be critical thinkers?  I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Bryan Armentrout who shows the importance of decision making and building relationship with your team for a better understanding of where they are coming from.  In most situations, it is better to wait and gather the facts, the reality and processed the situation with your team than to make emotional snap decisions. Why? Your decisions will either make you or break you. And it will have an impact on your company, subordinates, career, and family. This talk will help you identify your weakness as an employee and how to overcome it. As a manager, you will also be able to identify the type of workers you have, how to handle them, and how to improve their potential by providing avenues for them to grow professionally.

TMM014: Master the Four Secrets of Leadership With Bryan Armentrout

I think this might actually be our first quality manager on our podcast and I am very excited that it’s Bryan. He’s had over 25 years working as a Quality expert in the dairy industry. Bryan is also offering his new book: The New Manager Mindset to our viewers and all you have to do is go to fsmaexpert.com and just pay for shipping. I read this book, as I’m thinking of management, and it really gave me some great tips and resources to not only understand people, but to build systems. We go pretty in depth on food safety, quality, leadership and management so if you are interested in this pathway, pay close attention to this interview. My favorite part of this interview is about 20 minutes in where Bryan explains how to have everyone agree on how to deal with warm milk. Sponsor - FoodGrads If you are even just a little bit interested in a career in food &amp; beverage, you should join FoodGrads.  It’s an interactive platform where you can hear about different careers, hear from your peers, have a voice and share your story as well as ask specific questions and get feedback from industry experts across the sector. You can create a profile, add your resume and search for co-op, internships and full time opportunities just for Food Grads. Employers can find you too, they can recruit you for jobs and projects they need help with to give you the relevant industry experience you need. Join FoodGrads today! Just go to Foodgrads.com Sponsor - ICON Foods Big announcement from our friends at Stevivia. They now go by ICON Foods and you’re seeing a rebranding in action which I find really exciting. Their vision is brighter, their strategy is stronger and their all-natural, clean-label product portfolio is ever growing. So why are they doing this? Even though stevia is an amazing product, there are just so many sweeteners coming up and it’s becoming a bit overwhelming. Monkfruit, Allulose, Agave, you name it. This is what ICON Foods is here for: to help you find sweetener solutions so you can focus on other challenges in the product development process.

Like a meal kit… If you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve the podcast, don’t be afraid to email me at podcast@myfoodjobrocks.com Knowledge Bombs  How mentorship brought Bryan to success Why hiring a consultant is a good idea (especially in growth phase), and when to focus on it A really good example of how quality and production can work together (20:00) How to use personality subsets to work together How the FDA works and how to take advantage of it  Question Summary How do you introduce yourself: I make sure your food is up to standard (Quality) and make it safe (Food Safety) Quality is making things consistent, Food Safety needs to be in place What do you do?: I’m a quality consultant What’s the best thing about your job?: I love working with different companies Steps it took to get to where you are today: Planned to go to medical school, ended up working in cheese, had to decide between contributor to manager If you want to make a bigger impact, you might need to be a manager A quality manager’s job: to find out why stuff is happening, not fix things right away How to create a great quality system - Examine a process - Talk to the worker - Determine the key attributes - Develop a buffer (red light, yellow light, green light) that production can understand - Make smart decisison on a yellow light situation Best skill you can have in quality: Technical competency and the ability to talk to people How do you do better at talking to people?: See if you can find a person’s philosophy and how they view things. Then communicate in a way they relate to it. Managing versus Leadership: You need both, but leadership is a focus on creating new leaders and trusting people to do their job Exciting Food Technology: Blockchain as a tracking mechanism for food Biggest Issue: FDA will eventually target corporate headquarters.
