Leadership, Love Languages, & Lasting Impact feat. Ed Buison

Posted on November 26, 2024

Episode Summary

Creating a supportive office culture is hard work, but having staff that adores you, even with minimal interaction, requires an extraordinary form of leadership. Ed Buison is one such leader, as he and his wife Eileen have taken it upon themselves to creative inclusive, caring environments wherever they work and are called to lead. In today’s conversation with Ed, we discover why he and his wife gravitated toward BIGGBY®, and why they chose to start a business in a time of financial turmoil. Our conversation then turns to how Ed’s evolution from shy to confident and outgoing serves him in his work today, and how he feels about the BIGGBY® COFFEE Purpose Award that he and Eileen received this year after being voted for by their colleagues. We also learn about how Ed develops his staff into leaders, how he and Eileen cultivate their inspirational office culture, examples of how they support their hardworking staff unconditionally, and how Ed hopes to achieve the biggest goals he’s set for himself.
