They don’t just talk about doing the work, they roll up their sleeves, lean in and do the work – and that goes for everyone from assistants to partners. They approach each day with enthusiasm and don’t shy away from that pie-in-the-sky audacious goal.
They treat everyone with respect – from media on the red carpet to the doorman in the office building. Respect costs nothing and makes even the most stressful days and late nights more enjoyable.
They don’t just jump, but leap, into the work before being asked. They don’t wait for clients or colleagues to make requests; they stay one step ahead, anticipating that next move.
They know how to work a room. They develop and foster deep connections and relationships, with strong networks across industries.
They move quickly to capitalize on opportunities in real-time, they are flexible in their approach and aren’t deterred by a no or a change of plans.
They are resourceful, they’re willing to drop everything to help a colleague in a bind, and they love to engineer “Sunshine Specials” (our term for introducing two clients to collaborate in unexpected ways).
They are interested in learning, they ask “what if” and value what could be, they encourage independent creative thinking at all levels, and they aren’t scared to try new things. And they are voracious consumers of media and culture, because, as we all know, the more we consume, the better we are at our jobs.
They think like owners, not just employees. They take initiative, spot opportunities where others see gaps, and aren’t afraid to build something from the ground up. They’re comfortable with ambiguity, willing to take smart risks, and motivated by creating value for clients, the team, and the business as a whole. They actively look for better ways to work, grow, and innovate.
