Chief Learning Officer - April 2008 - (Page 31) “We want to continue to understand where we think our fee pools are, where we think the opportunity is for us to grow and to really make sure we have appropriate talent in the pipeline for every level of activity. We’re assessing our talent that comes in off college campuses to really make sure we’ve got people who can grow with us, and we’re doing robust development for key talent in the organization. “The CEO and COO brought me in to build the culture and to build our leadership capability. Their commitment to that has made a huge difference and is part of the reason why I’m still here, enjoying what I’m doing and feeling like we’re having an impact. It’s why they show a commitment to their own development,” she said. “There’s a lot of learning that goes on as they engage in their own 360-degree reviews, and they really set the standard for the firm. It’s quite unusual in an environment like this to have people from the top looking for feedback and ways to grow and develop, who understand that is part of what will make them successful and drive the performance of the firm.” Greenfield said she counts herself in that senior group concerned with personal development. “It’s really why I do this work. I believe people get meaning out of life because they continue to grow and learn, while the people who don’t tend to get really stale and aren’t very happy in what they do. In a place like Lehman, where people are wildly successful financially, at the end of the day that’s something different that we offer them that in many cases they hadn’t thought about before. You can’t work in my group if you’re not constantly growing and learning, looking at cuttingedge research and bringing that knowledge to what you do. That makes our work really fun and pretty meaningful.” CLO GET MAXIMUM COLLEGE CREDITS FOR YOUR CORPORATE TRAINING. The Strayer University Educational Alliance program.
