Partners,

What are some must knows for an executive? I am good at my job but would like to be conversant or knowledgeable about things that matter to our clients. But there's a whole big world out there - what's a good target to focus on.

How do you go about being knowledgeable and conversant?

Genuinely asking to learn and grow
