• Delegate work appropriately and convey priorities and expectations effectively.
• Display objectivity in communicating with and making recommendations to clients and team members.
• Solve problems through careful and systematic evaluation of all relevant information, possible alternatives and consequences.
• Set and maintain high standards of quality and efficiency for team. Be a role model for team members.
• Present and receive constructive feedback to help self, team, and firm improve.
• Operate in a manner that is consistent with the firm’s values of Collaboration, Integrity, Authenticity, Empathy, Supportiveness, Competency, Positivity, and Drive/Grit.

Additional Expectations:
