Demonstrations of transformational leadership, authentic …

There Is Nothing More Diverse Than "New", Frederick A. Miller, Roger Gans
Communication Faculty Publications
In the organizational competition for talent, successful retention of newly recruited workers is at least as important as the initial hire.

Consequently, turnover rates in the first two years of employment are seven times greater than …
