Culture Matters: Building the Wise Firm

In my coaching interactions throughout the firm, I am often asked about the concept of fierce ownership. Some seem to grasp the concept intuitively, while others may struggle to come to grips with how to live out this commitment.

It is putting the needs and best interests of your clients, colleagues and the firm before your own.
