One Word: Relentless

When Chris sees something that needs to be created or built, he doesn't stop until it's reality. He isn't swayed by naysayers or worried about what others think: he does what he believes is right, and right for the team, and keeps going.

He believes that over the long run, if the firm makes a bunch of good decisions and does right by its team and clients, it wins. And then it keeps going and plays a bigger game. That's the compound effect in action: better every day, never stopping, building something that lasts.
