"Almost perfect employees simply cannot be hired off the streets or from a competitor. They have to be developed internally for an organization to be successful over the long term. Its a fact of business life. If you want a skilled, dedicated and professional workforce, you have to develop it on your own. Its that simple."

-- Dr. Will Powers
