"An organization is nothing more than a collection of people attempting to hopefully achieve the same goals. You have to bring together people that can embrace the strategy, and have strategic trust with each other."
Sharon Price John is the CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop and author of the newly published book, Stories And Heart: Unlocking the Power of Personal Stories to Create a Life You Love.
