Excerpt From the Article
“After working his way up from bartender to executive director of a church-run community event space, Ward decided to pursue a master’s degree in business leadership. “I was fascinated with leadership,” he says. “Not the admin side of running a business or the numbers, but what makes the best leader. How can a leader draw out the best in the people they’re leading?” One day, as he witnessed a fast-food worker being treated “like garbage” by a co-worker and their manager, he recalls, he told his wife that someday he wanted “to create a place where entry-level employees in the service industry can be treated with dignity, shown value and that they matter.”
