Chapters

As a result of top grading, which we started to implement through the coaching of Herb and the scaling up infrastructure, we realized that by making a really solid hire, we were replacing in many cases, 2 or 3 non A players within the organization. And so we talk about the fact that our firm has really doubled if you talk about headcount since we started working with Herb, but in terms of operational volume, we're growing much faster than that. But beyond that, I would say our team is so much happier and so much more collaborative. The culture has really, really gotten clear even as we grow as a result of making those hiring decisions with a focus in our core values. And of course the A player has those core values.
