Finding & Building Great People in an Off Premise Work Environment with Bonnie Harvey & Michael Houlihan of Barefoot Wines
We are now remote. And we are learning so much about what it takes to keep your people engaged and productive. The balance between communication and micromanagement is often the Biggest challenge.
