A beloved economy. Doesn't that just sound like an economic ecosystem you want to be part of? Well, it can be. There are organizations out there who have innovated HOW they do work and broken out of business as usual - to stellar results. And the great news is that everyone can contribute to practicing a beloved economy - reorienting how we work to share power and unlocking well-being, meaning, and connection.
Joanna Cea and Jess Rimington are co-authors of Beloved Economies: Transforming How We Work. They spent seven years researching the common traits of successful beloved economies across diverse teams and enterprises. Today Joanna shares what is a beloved economy and how to transform business as usual in a "loveless" economy. We discuss the role of "bad actors" in breakout innovation, and Joanna digs into two of the seven practices - seeking difference and trusting there is time - and explains why they work and how they can be applied.

Key Takeaways:
"The economy is something we all make and remake every single day. Yes, there are big structural forces at play, but there's also the accumulation of 1000 little decisions and actions that we each make every day." — Joanna L. Cea
