"Making sure that all parts of your business are integrated and aligned with the vision, mission, values, and accountability structure that's set from the top allows people to own it from the bottom up. Everywhere people go, everywhere that customers go, everywhere that kids go, it's aligned, it's reinforcing, and it's growing who we are and the expectation of how we're going to operate in this environment.” Dr. Selking
