Hi everybody. I want to talk about the meaning of your firm. We had stage presence think about story all the time and when we think about the story that your firm is about, we think about it in a very particular way. Now some people talk about their firm like especially larger firms, larger corporations like they exist to make money for their shareholders. We don't think so. A lot of times people think of their firms as existing for their employees, for the people who make up the firm. We don't think that's the right way to think about it. We think a company, an organization exists to make a difference to its clientele, to the world that it formed for, for the people that it provides services to, for the communities that it impacts, and. This story can change over time because situations change over time. So organizations, missions are really important for the people who work at organizations to understand. And that mission is about directly impacting the people and the organizations and the communities that you serve that you exist to make a difference for the story of your organization is not. About you. It's not about your organization, it's about. The folks that you impact, the community that you make a difference for, in our terminology, the main character. Of the story that your organization tells is. The community that you impact, the people that you serve, the people for whom you exist to make a difference. And as things evolve out there, as the world changes, as circumstances shift with time and tide and just all of the random things that go on in the world. Your firm needs to kind of pay attention to what's going on right now. What is the biggest problem that our community, the people that we exist to help? Is dealing with. What do we do to impact that problematic situation? What goal? What better situation are we existing right now to create for our clients, for our community? If you can start to think about that sort of thing, if you, as a leader of a firm, can start thinking about that sort of thing, you can ongoingly modify the story that your organization needs to communicate not only to itself, to the people who make up your firm, but to the public. If you can internalize this story and communicate it throughout your team, and if you can embody this story. And communicate it to your prospects and clients. Then everybody will be on the same page about the meaning that your firm embodies to the world. Think about that. Let me know what questions you have. I'd love to discuss with you.

Must be frustrating for a CEO to look at the list of top shareholders and wonder if any of them even know what business the company is in. #passiveinvesting #whoisdoingthework

Sara E. Murphy, chief strategy officer at The Shareholder Commons, and Yumi Narita, executive director of corporate governance at the New York City Comptroller, explored the vital role of shareholder proposals in holding companies to account, challenges brought on by anti-ESG sentiment and investor priorities for 2024 at last week’s #ProxySeasonPreview session. Session takeaways from Sara and Yumi include: 💡 A successful proposal doesn't necessarily require majority support, with positive engagements oftentimes involving proposal withdrawals or 30%+ support when going to a vote 💡 Some shareholders are pivoting away from proposals and launching withhold campaigns, in a bid to enhance director accountability 💡 Board skill and diversity disclosure are top of mind for investors, alongside human capital management We want to extend a big thank you to Sara and Yumi for sharing their insights and providing effective shareholder engagement strategies. What are your thoughts? Share them below – and stay tuned for more highlights and key takeaways from the summit! #DiligentMarketIntelligence #AnnualMeeting

It is becoming increasingly hard to buy stocks in companies as more of them go private. I think there are a couple of things going on. First, publicly-traded corporations have disclose a lot of information, and this can put them at a competitive disadvantage against their private counterparts. Second, the perils of shareholder activism and hostile takeovers can be diminished in a privately-held company. Still, I was surprised to see how much more private equity is out there. https://lnkd.in/ggR-zQeD

Be cautious of large teams as they may be incentivized to do deals, leading to aggressive buying. Smaller teams with more equity owners have more aligned interests.
