RSM has a reputation for being a "powerhouse of collaborative innovation for middle market companies looking to gain a competitive edge." The interviewer asks this question to determine how well your brand of thought leadership and innovation will represent their company and align with the reputation they aim to uphold. "When we provide thought leadership through interaction with clients and industry groups, we recognize that we represent the firm and act accordingly. At RSM, we invite talented professionals to join us who will bring care and curiosity as we collaborate with clients to deliver real innovation."

The assessment vendor, Cappfinity, advertises that they perceive creativity as a strength. But it is also important to learn how RSM innovates strategies for their clients and align your approach to innovation with theirs. So research the company, this opportunity, and yourself, and offer an answer that strikes that balance.

This question goes beyond providing you with an opportunity to showcase your strengths. It is akin to asking how you would build relationships with your coworkers or clients when onboarding. It requires striking a balance between being ambitious and eager to contribute to your company and exhibiting humility, learning the rules and how they do things, familiarizing yourself with what they built, and collaborating from there.

"I showcase my thought leadership by understanding my clients' needs, being a powerhouse of information, and having the knowledge of every resource available to usher in their greater success. I would, of course, do this, acting with the code of conduct and in an ethical manner that would preserve my company's reputation."
