Values
- Dedication to Excellence
- As stated by Vince Lombardi: “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.” At DeWitt, dedication to excellence means that we will always strive to continuously improve. Each of us, regardless of our strengths, must have self- awareness of areas we can improve upon. Even the most talented people can get better at what they do. For example, the most gifted writer at DeWitt might be able to improve on public speaking. The most effective litigator may need to cultivate more meaningful relationships with her co-workers. If we each strive to be an A+ employee and A+ person, we will achieve collective excellence. If we are willing to settle for a B+ (or less), we will never be able to provide the best experiences to our clients, both internal and external.
