Taking the Lead from Team Members

摘要

KRISTI BRYANT GOES TO WORK EACH day thinking about ways to connect with her clients and colleagues. As principal in charge of Ryan's Dallas headquarters, she focuses a great deal on the firm's culture. "As our largest office, we're continually laying groundwork to enhance our culture and bring team members together in meaningful ways," she says. Bryant knows this from experience. During her nearly 19-year career at Ryan, the world's largest firm dedicated exclusively to business taxes, she has spearheaded team-building projects ranging from cookie swaps to tailgates and community outreach in the local area. And amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, she and her team pivoted to create virtual outreach efforts, including toy and clothing drives and a virtual 5K. But this comes as no surprise-team unity is at the heart of everything Ryan does.
