Leadership Development Program

The Chick-fil-A of Powdersville and Easley Leadership Development Program is a multifaceted program designed to help you build the best and brightest future possible for you. We believe in learning to lead yourself before learning to lead others, and learning to lead others before learning to lead our business. We commit to walking with you through every step of this process and meeting your level of investment into your personal development. The Chick-fil-A of Powdersville and Easley Leadership Development Program provides a challenging hands‑on restaurant and business leadership experience with opportunities to learn about our culture, practice and learn business skills in a live environment, as well as social and networking opportunities. The purpose of this program is to identify and hire individuals who have an interest in receiving hands‑on experience in operating a business and leading a team. A Chick-fil-A Team Leader is one who consistently demonstrates our core values, embraces the Chick-fil-A culture and has a servant’s heart. They have a passion for people and serving others, have strong character, take initiative and work with a sense of urgency at all times. Our Team Leaders are responsible for supporting senior leadership in executing daily operations and keeping team members accountable for each component of Operational Excellence and our Recipe for Service. A Team Leader’s two main areas of focus are completing tasks so that the restaurant runs effectively, and coaching/developing team members. Team Leaders lead by example and set the tone that others will follow.
