Southwest Airlines. Uber. Disney. Zappos. Wells Fargo. What do these very different organizations have in common?

At the October 26 Leadership Connection. Ev will explore the relationship between these organizational elements and why it matters. In addition, Ev will discuss strategies for designing and aligning a positive internal environment and culture of engagement.
