The Revolution of Dignity at Work with Ari Weinzweig
Dignity has been baked into many of Zingerman's business practices for decades. When we get into the practice of taking a beat to remind ourselves that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, a lot of good things start to happen. We begin to have more positive beliefs about others, because we are considering their inherent worth and perspective. We show up differently, we act more kindly, and we weave more compassionate narratives. Hear Ari's current thinking on dignity as an act of inclusion, and how we as leaders (and humans) can more intentionally bring dignity to every interaction.Ari's BioAri Weinzweig is Co-founding partner of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, which includes Zingerman's Delicatessen, Bakehouse, Creamery, Catering, Mail Order, ZingTrain, Coffee Company, Roadhouse, Candy Manufactory, Events at Cornman Farms, Miss Kim, and Zingerman’s Food Tours.
