By making a quick call, though, the partner she went to solved the problem on the spot. Since the partner knew that a phone call could fi x it, this taught Grant the importance of experience. But the manner in which he did it — calmly and methodically — also taught her "the value of a measured response. Just pause, stop and think it through." The fact that he knew who to call also taught Grant that "there is no substitute for creating relationships."
