"We pictured an executive meeting where ten leaders sat around the table making important decisions for a company-seven of them men in traditional business grey and three women clad in power red, changing the conversation and putting an important stake in the ground for the future of the firm."
What does "putting an important stake in the ground" mean?

Question

Answer

When builders are ready to start a construction project to build a new building on an empty lot, the first thing they do is to mark out the area. They do this by placing stakes (which are wood sticks or metal rods) at the corners of the lot.

Figuratively, it means making an important first step to start a new project.
