Reflection & Wonder

“Quality people must be managed with customized approaches. The idea is to create a hothouse where young talent is nourished by our culture and people are encouraged to think creatively, think deeply, think about the long-term client relationship - but above all, think. I want them to reflect on what they are doing and why, and then wonder, ‘Can we do better?’"
