SHARING OUR CORE PRINCIPLES
The Heart of Our Firm
solution on page 4
In March, we kicked off our three-part series focusing on a core foundation of our firm: The Value Creation Principles. These principles are a set of 9 universal values that guide our team. So far, we’ve introduced: “Clients at the Center,” “Always Creating Value,” “Continuous Improvement,” “Ideal Team Players,” “Effective With People and Efficient With Resources,” and “Be Our Own Best Client.” This month, we’ll discuss the final third of our list to explore the traits that keep our Architects at the top of their game.
SHRIMP SAUSAGE SKEWERS
INGREDIENTS • 1/2 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined • 1/2 pound cooked sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces • 2 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch cubes • 2 tablespoons extra- virgin olive oil • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
BIGGER FUTURE
Focus: Progress toward potential. The future is bigger than the past.
CREOLE SEASONING INGREDIENTS
A way of seeing the world that embodies all things about improvement, hope, enthusiasm, change, and leadership. Regardless of age or life stage, we still have things to contribute. We still make a difference. We still matter.
• 2 tablespoons paprika • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder • 1/2 tablespoon onion powder • 1/2 tablespoon
GROWTH OVER FIXED MINDSET
Focus: What’s possible? We understand that when we begin with a mindset of “If something is worth doing, we will explore it.” A fixed mindset tells us that we cannot do certain things because: 1) We aren’t capable right now, 2) We don’t have the technology needed, 3) It would require too much change. A growth mindset tells us to focus on where we are going and say yes to what can get us moving in that direction. The focus becomes who and what is needed to move forward rather than how and why something may not be possible.
cayenne or chili powder • 1/4 tablespoon dried oregano • 1/4 tablespoon dried thyme
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat your grill to medium-high. 2. In a bowl, combine all ingredients for creole seasoning. 3. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, zucchini pieces, and sausage pieces, and cover them with the olive oil. 4. Add creole seasoning and mix well until all ingredients are covered. 5. Load up skewers with alternating pieces of shrimp, sausage, and zucchini until they’re full. 6. Grill skewers until shrimp are well-cooked (6–8 minutes).
INNOVATE AND EXECUTE
Focus: Follow through. Vision without execution is hallucination.
Continuous improvement without innovation is impossible. Without innovation, we lose ground and fall behind. Value creation becomes difficult. Without execution, innovative ideas stay ideas and part of the “wish we had” list. Innovation with execution brings improved efficiencies and continuously better outcomes. A problem well defined is half solved, but only half solved . It takes good execution to experience full value.
