Advice to Senior Management

New CEO, Nick Brien, is making changes. I suggest he hold leaders accountable not just for earnings, but creating a qulaity agency that will flourish in the future. ( In other words, long-term goals.) And for that you need to quality people willing and wanting to go the extra mile.
