Engaged people feel good about coming to work every day, says Fred Lorestani, vice president of North American Implant Operations for Stryker. “Given the products that we make and the kind of facilities that we have, as a leader you need to do everything in your power to make your teams engaged and your customers and shareholders happier.”
