The communication skills are extremely important for the role of a Chef. In today's world the communication skills play almost equally important role as that your main work. Let me explain how:

Working with diverse group of people
As a part of a team, you need to communicate with every single member of your team. It becomes very inconvenient if you are not good in terms of communication skills. It's difficult to work with diverse set of people. If you don't have right communication skills to understand them and convey your message to them clearly, the problems may arise.

Common language to connect with everyone
Don't assume that you will be working with only local customers all the time. As you grow, you will have more coworkers and customers, doesn't matter you work in India or abroad, most likely English will be your primary language at wok. Learn to develop fluency in the language. How good you are at it, will help you connect with others.

Growth and salary
Your growth and salary hike depends on your overall skills. Those skills also include the communication skills and therefore they will play an important role in deciding how much you earn. If you want to make more money, you need to be excellent at communication skills.

More interesting roles
In the modern world, as a Chef you are not confined to kitchen but you do travel a lot to do the research and understand the variety of cuisines. A number of travel and food channels also look for Chefs these days who can host the food shows for them. If you want to get in to such exciting roles, you need to be extremely brilliant with your communication skills.

Improved productivity
The improvement in communication skills lead to an improvement in overall productivity at workplace. Think about it. A lot of confusions, troubles, arguments will be avoided if you can rightly communicate your message to your team members. Similarly if everyone at workplace have good communication skills it will add to an improved overall performance and therefore improved productivity at your workplace.

Hope the idea was clear. The communication skills are really important and we should strive for excellent communication skills.
