The military is one exception. Today on the show, we are joined by Trier Bryant, CEO and Co-Founder of Just Work who shares insight from her career leading teams in the Air Force, at Goldman Sachs, and at Twitter.

Apart from blowing our minds with her perspectives on followership and the critical need for organizations to take better care of their people, Trier also sheds light on workplace injustice and how to go about rooting out bias.
