In this video, I explore how attachment styles — typically discussed in personal relationships — play a crucial role in the workplace. Each style affects leadership, communication, and company culture in unique ways. If you’ve ever wondered why some organizations thrive while others collapse, especially during periods of change or stress, this conversation provides science-backed insights with real-world applications.

I will explain how these attachment patterns show up at work, why they matter for team dynamics, and what leaders can do to create healthier, more secure environments. Whether you’re a manager, founder, or team member, understanding these dynamics can be the key to long-term success and psychological safety at work.
