your gut,
with something you are really passionate about, for a good reason. You
won’t get there by sitting in a closet and thinking, ‘Boy I know the

do we define innovation?

The
most important step I've taken
to encourage innovation is to
hire people who have experience
outside of banking –
creative people who can
apply what they've learned in
dynamic, customer-centric
categories to our more
traditional business.

All successful employers are stalking men
who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by

acquire new customers. The
result is that we've built a
billion-dollar bank in just our
in-store branches.
