She talks about her relationship with her Owner/bosses.  Both David and Angle provide their perspectives on unique worker directed practices like solution seeking vs traditional top down feedback.  Bean Chain seems to create a deep employee loyalty with these practices.#EVLeaderLab #leadership #embodiedleadership #WorkerDirectedOrganizations#WorkerCooperatives#leadershipdevelopment #innovation #successmindset #mentor#development#businessdevelopment #workplaceculture #GenZWorkplace#LeadershipMatters#ConnectedWork #Tai Chi
