2018 Summer Client Partnerships Internship

THE LEADDOG WAY

We take pride in the work we do. Therefore, it is important for all our team members to embody characteristics of the LeadDog Way, and exemplify this through our work. The LeadDog Way is not so much a tangible set of guidelines as it is a mindset or philosophy, guided by the principles for which we want our company represented: the highest quality client service, building true partnerships with our clients, building on the experience of our team and of our history, balancing life and work, respecting fellow LeadDoggers, creativity, passion, leadership, and teamwork.     

All LeadDoggers should encompass and reinforce our core principles related to good management, of both programs and people. Additionally, the below items and traits are key to the growth of each individual:

• Demonstrates proactive leadership
• Approaches work with dedication and passion
• Thinks strategically and big picture
• Is consistent in communication and shows attention to detail
• Focuses on creating value
• Strives for greatness every day
• Never settles…never
