A 24-year-old CEO shared the controversial ways she runs her "Gen Z-led" business - including 'set your own' working hours and group holidays.
Vicky Owens, 24, runs a six-figure social media strategy business - and her staff are all under the age of 30.
As a first-time boss, she knew she didn't want to lead the team the "boring, millennial way" and vowed to give her employees more freedom.
Each of her staff are allowed multiple work from home days, flexible start and finish times, and regular feedback sessions to let her know how she can improve as a manager.
But she says older generations are quick to criticise - "predicting" her business will fail if she doesn't "stop being a walkover".
