Thoughts on Leadership: Annette Verschuren, President, Home Depot Canada

"I had little retail experience when I became president of Home Depot, and I was the first woman in the company to take an operational role like that. So, you had to be confident, you had to understand how to influence people, how to be inclusive, how to recognize diverse positions and contribute that to your organization." From Canadian Business Portraits in Leadership, Oct. 2010
