This is what strong leadership looks like. By working to know and understand the experience of those on the front line, Sean is modeling empathy and constructive followership. He's creating a continuous-learning environment that fosters what Chip Conley describes as a culture of "modern elderhood," where "elders" are those who hold and share knowledge, wisdom and expertise, regardless of age or position.

In doing so, he provides useful context about the challenges of the work and the expertise required to do it. In doing so, he fosters empathy and cooperation.
