Nation's Restaurant News honored five leading executives with the annual Golden Chain Award, which recognizes outstanding leadership and brand stewardship. Each honoree was interviewed by a former Golden Chain winner in a top-to-top discussion covering strategies for success, brand victories and challenges and how best to motivate teams.
In this exclusive audio clip, Texas Roadhouse CEO W. Kent Taylor is interviewed by Ignite Restaurant Group CEO Ray Blanchette, who was honored with both a Golden Chain Award and Operator of the Year in 2013. NRN editor-in-chief Sarah Lockyer facilitated the interviews.
NRN published condensed versions of these interviews but is now making the full interviews available in audio format in an exclusive series, Lessons in Leadership, available on NRN.com and podcasting platform SoundCloud.
