What the Church Can Learn from Eleven Madison Park (Pt 3)

Team Over Talent

Why Your Strongest Ministries Aren’t Always Led by the Loudest Voices

In 7 Days Out, the Eleven Madison Park team is preparing to reopen one of the top restaurants in the world. But the cameras don’t just focus on the head chef or lead designer.

Instead, we meet:

• Natasha, who manages service timing with military precision.

• Dmitri, the dining room lead with emotional intelligence through the roof.

• And a whole team of people working behind the scenes to create a seamless guest experience.

They’re not celebrities. They’re not flashy.
But they’re the heartbeat of the operation.

And that’s when it hit me:
The kitchen doesn’t run the show. The dining room doesn’t either.
The team does.
