Ron Edmondson

One of the biggest challenges for any organization is to attract and retain leaders. I previously posted reasons leaders tend to leave an organization. (Read that post HERE.) The goal then is to find ways to keep a leader energized to stay with the team – so I thought a companion post was appropriate.
