25:43 – “You need to be clear on what you are and where you want to go because if I'm a leader coming to your business, I don't want to work somewhere where we don't know where we're going. If that's the case, the carrots are always moving, right? We're never accomplishing goals; it will never be good enough. It's a place that I'm not going to want to work; I want to accomplish goals and celebrate us getting to our vision.” - Dan Dowdy

Attracting and retaining top leaders requires giving them something to aspire towards: a vision that is both meaningful for the business and inspiring for staff. Providing growth pathways, support systems for family well-being, and opportunities to achieve personal goals can empower workers in tough times – when it may seem daunting or hard going - with reminders about why their efforts matter.
