In order to grow Citi, we first have to grow our own
perspective, skills and capabilities… Our curiosity, our
openness to learning and trying new things, our ability
to adjust and adapt quickly and our willingness to fail
fast and fail small are the essence of a culture that
innovates and exposes new value to our clients in real
time.
