- How do you make sure your most talented workers stay put?
- If you provide a positive environment, good leadership, open communication, career development opportunities, the tools necessary for doing a good job, challenging work, and appropriate compensation and recognition, there is no reason to leave. It's my responsibility to make sure we do these things.
- Your relationship with a key business leader:
- I have an excellent relationship with our operations leader. We constantly communicate about needs and challenges and always offer assistance to each other. My objective is to do whatever I can to help make him successful and he does the same for me. This is the true definition of collaboration.
