They highlight the need for firms to move beyond technical processing toward developing anticipatory, relational, and advisory skills. Rather than relying on traditional hiring cues and qualities, they suggest looking for curiosity and conceptual candidates with natural communication abilities\u2014in different education majors such as hospitality or entrepreneurship. Ideally, we\u2019ll hire more people who can naturally manage client expectations and solve complex problems. By \u201csorting\u201d existing team members based on these skills and then freeing them from routine technical work, firms can transition their true service delivery from transactional compliance to transformational service models. Join us next week for a live discussion of all things leadership \u2013 in the profession and in our communities every Friday at 11am CT\/12pm ET!
