Abstract

Moving from the perspective that employee ownership and governance open developmental pathways and possibilities toward thriving in bridging the polarities in the workplace considered inherent within wealth creation and voice, this chapter draws from the author's longitudinal Carris Reels case study. In examining the transition from a successful, respected and endeared family-owned business one with 100% shared employee ownership and governance, concepts and constructs are applied from the fields of employee ownership, corporate governance, organization development and change, adult development, human resources, business management and innovation.
