Your top executives establish the strategic direction for your organization. They build operating plans to increase market share, reduce time-to-market, increase profits, and improve customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, there is often no link between upper management’s vision for the organization and workforce goals, which directly impacts the ability to fulfill these strategic objectives.
