          Quotes:

          “[Hourly workers have] really, really hard jobs and they need great management—they need great leadership. Most [hourly workers] are not getting it.”

          “One universal soft need [of employees] is wanting to feel part of something, and that’s where culture comes into play. In my experience, most business owners, most managers, [and] most leaders don’t know what culture is.”
