One of the advantages this gives me is the partners in my firm heavily relied upon me to interact direcly with the customers and I picked up on the idea of putting myself in the minds of the customers to see how I can best serve their needs, frequently in ways they themselves were not aware of (they not being accountants).<br /><br />When I left public for the corporate world I kept the mentality that all those I interact with are clients, rather than managers, co-workers, etc. That's why I find so much useful advice haunting the blogs written for top managers and professionals - the better I learn what they need the better an employee I can become.Dan in Phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13574977723796957609noreply@blogger.com
