How do you stay engaged with trends that you see in your industry?
Being around for over 20 years has provided us with a very deep network, contacts and resources such Fortune 500 CEOs, Managing Partners of law firms and CPA firms and many other Advisors and Leaders. We are fortunate to have these resources.
As for the financial services industry specifically, our Investment Committee (made up of our Partners, key employees, an institutional investment company we hired, select clients, and other advisors) meets quarterly to keep on top of key trends, the economy, and of course investment strategies and allocations.
What is your company culture like?
With a large percentage of our team being together for over 20 years, we truly are a family. We respect each other. We trust each other. We are loyal to each other. We do whatever it takes to help each other and be a good teammate.
What does it take to be a successful employee at your company?
Being a successful employee at Gryphon Financial Partners is all about being a good teammate. Patrick Lencioni wrote a book called “The Ideal Team Player.” We use this book as a guideline on how we work together and is a must read for all new employees. The book (and Gryphon Financial Partners) describes a good teammate and successful employee as someone with these three virtues:
- Humble – Great teammates lack excessive ego or concerns about status.
- Hungry – Great teammates are always looking for more to do, more to learn and more responsibility to take on.
- People Smart – Great teammates have the ability to be interpersonally appropriate and aware of their co-workers.
