Quotes:
Jennifer Fondrevay: "If you haven't from the get-go defined what the vision is going to be and how it's going to come to life and the role that the work force plays in delivering the vision, you are going to have a really hard time holding onto key talent."
"This is not an HR-only problem. Everyone has to be accountable. All executives need to consider what the roles will be for this business to be successful. To make the vision become a reality. Own it from the beginning."
