"Visionary organizations don't chase the impossible; they focus on extending their reach to achieve the possible. We don't let up in the face of challenge, and we don't call it a day when an answer isn't readily at hand. Relentless effort, relying on our teammates and colleagues, and remaining open to unconventional solutions are the keys to the Citadel approach."
Kenneth C. Griffin
