“Well, a big part of it is sort of helping everyone understand what our purpose is. And that's our real social fabric as a bank and never taking it for granted, bringing it to life. I'll often exchange stories with our team members on our internal postings of great client experiences. Or if something really someone has done a great job serving a client, the client writes back to me. I always, always, always make it a point to give back to the client, our client and our team members to help them recognize that what they did reinforces the culture that we're building.” - Victor Dodig, President and CEO, CIBC
