1. Leaders are practitioners… working consistently with clients keeps your craft honed and your ideas fresh

3. Lead business development
• Deliberate and strategic development of a sector/business development strategy
• Cultivate personal networks
• Actively engage with new connections
• Apply critical thinking to RFP opportunities (what merits a yes)
• Build strong, collaborative relationships with your practice peers to achieve scale, integrated approaches and creativity
4. Create a robust team community, regardless of geography
5. Offer your team transparency and honesty in both good and bad news
6. Cultivate and share informed and well-defined points of view, particularly about new client opportunities
7. Support your colleagues; celebrate successes, rally in difficult times
8. Bring a problem-solving mentality to everything you do, both within your business and beyond
