In roles spanning Target, Ross Stores, and WeWork, she led large, distributed teams where execution mattered daily and where culture wasn't a slogan, it was a business lever. Those experiences shaped her core belief: high-performing organizations don't happen by accident; they're built by leaders who create clarity, model accountability, and reinforce ownership at every level.Today, Quendrida partners with executives and leadership teams to strengthen how they lead through disciplined routines, aligned expectations, and trust-building behaviors that hold under pressure. Her approach blends enterprise operator experience with doctoral-level insight in organizational change, helping leaders translate leadership theory into actions teams can actually follow. Her vision is bold and simple: \"rid the world of bad bosses(TM),\" replacing them with leaders who know how to develop people and deliver results.She is the author of The Accountability Advantage: 5 Proven Steps to Build a Culture of Trust, Ownership, and Results, a practical framework designed to help leaders end micromanagement, stop over-functioning, and create a culture where people rise and own outcomes even when the leader isn't in the room.Quendrida has also contributed to leadership conversations in the hospitality space through Boston University's ecosystem, including serving as Executive-in-Residence at the School of Hospitality Administration. Whether coaching a C-suite leader, facilitating a leadership team reset, or keynoting on accountability and culture, she equips leaders to build teams that execute with trust, clarity, and momentum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Quendrida Whitmore \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47858804097181,"sku":"9798993746319","price":37.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_f2e0a8f0-9715-40a8-9a7c-83db9cc0d9dd.jpg?v=1776860561","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/hire-right-keep-great-people-a-5-stage-model-to-build-high-performing-teams-reduce-turnover-and-grow-future-leaders-9798993746319","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
