Psychologist and speaker Kiona Francini Ames has emphasized the importance of a reciprocal relationship between leadership and employees to achieve business success. During a recent discussion, Ames advocated for intrapreneurship, encouraging staff to adopt an “owner mindset” to accelerate professional growth.
