What strategic shifts have you made to foster a sense of loyalty and belonging to engage or retain younger employees in response to their mobility?
“I believe it is important to instill a sense of purpose and empower younger employees — really, all employees — to get involved in more than just routine tasks. When I began my banking career at a community bank, leadership valued the ideas and perspectives of younger staff. Decisions weren’t made solely by executives; input from junior employees mattered too. That experience made me feel seen, heard and deeply committed to the organization. Employees should be encouraged to get involved, understand why decisions are made and feel comfortable asking questions. The more they feel connected to the process, the more invested they become in the organization’s success.”
FAITH ANN BUTCHER Chief Impact Officer

Butcher is a Ph.D. candidate in organizational leadership at Eastern University in Philadelphia. A former journalist and published academic researcher, she has presented at conferences nationwide.
How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
“To remain competitive, you don’t have to compromise your beliefs. Strong values can provide an edge by attracting loyal customers, top talent and trustworthy partners who share your principles. Being innovative, open-minded and willing to collaborate with others whose skills complement your own are key to staying competitive. You can hold firm to your values while keeping methods and approaches flexible. Principled leadership, combined with strategic adaptability, delivers long-term competitive gains that outweigh short-term advantages.”
LISA CORDASCO President New Crystal Restoration
After taking over leadership of New Crystal Restoration (NCR) in 2008, Lisa Cordasco carried forward the company her father founded in 1960. Determined to honor his legacy while innovating, she introduced eco-conscious practices that made NCR the first in Westchester County to offer green restoration services. Along the way, she was honored as a Powerful Woman of Distinction, received the Lillian Vernon Award and guided NCR to be named 2024 Best Commercial General Contractor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, her team supported hospitals with decontamination and patient-room conversions, work that remains among her proudest. As NCR marks more than 60 years, she continues to lead with a focus on innovation, compassion and professionalism — staying true to her family’s legacy while preparing for tomorrow.
How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
“For me, competitiveness never comes at the expense of integrity. I’d rather walk away from a job than compromise the values my family built this company on. What sets us apart — our legacy, green practices and commitment to doing the job right — is what keeps us strong. For 65 years, we’ve thrived by working with clients who value quality and trust.”

What strategic shifts have you made to foster a sense of loyalty and belonging to engage or retain younger employees in response to their mobility?
“To engage and retain younger legal professionals, we have made strategic shifts that emphasize transparency, flexibility and purpose. Regular town halls and managing partner videos keep teams informed and aligned with firm strategy. Our hybrid work model and employee-led Well-being Committee support balance and care in a demanding profession. Career development has been reimagined with structured mentorship, targeted training and clear advancement paths to help associates envision long-term growth. Recognition is central to our culture, with quarterly and annual awards reinforcing appreciation, while the “Summer of Service” highlights shared values and our commitment to community.

Do you believe that frequent job changes in younger generations reflect broader systemic issues or a shift in societal values?
“Frequent job changes among younger professionals often stem from feeling disconnected from an organization’s mission and values. Strong, visible leadership is key to retention. I believe employees don’t leave companies — they leave managers. At Burke, I lead with a hands-on, people-first approach that keeps our mission central to daily work. Through regular rounds across inpatient units, I build trust and connection with patients, caregivers and staff. Embedding our mission, vision and values into everyday practice fosters belonging and purpose — the antidote to disengagement.”

Mirame founder Melinda Huff is a third-generation craftsperson and first-generation American.

How do you navigate the fine line between staying competitive and compromising your values?
“Sustainability and care for the planet are our North Star. This commitment to keeping a light-footprint guides everything we do. Sometimes it means working harder — like sourcing deadstock materials from warehouses instead of ordering fabric from overseas mills. To balance this, we keep our collection small and curated, creating capsule pieces designed to be timeless.”

What strategic shifts have you made to foster a sense of loyalty and belonging to engage or retain younger employees in response to their mobility?
“Employees want to be part of something bigger than themselves — and that’s exactly what healthcare should represent. At WMCHealth, we’ve been intentional about building a culture where people understand their impact on every patient and community we serve. We invest in mentorship, leadership pathways, and authentic communication, because when people feel valued and connected to purpose, retention isn’t a strategy — it’s a natural outcome.”

Her agency also supports local schools, youth sports and national fundraisers. Outside of work, she enjoys tennis, golf, boating and time with her family and dog, Daisy.
Do you believe that frequent job changes in younger generations reflect broader systemic issues or a shift in societal values?
“I believe it reflects a shift in societal values. Unlike past generations who often stayed in one role for their entire career, younger professionals are less afraid to make changes. I see that as a sign of courage and ambition — a willingness to take risks, explore new opportunities and advance their careers. That adaptability is admirable and a real strength in today’s evolving workplace.”
