The "bullshit" that comes with life inside the often dysfunctional world of professional services organizational cultures (partnership, insecurity, utilization, client service, and surviving in the "up-or-out" world.)

Prudence is the first of the cardinal virtues because it is the ability to look at a concrete situation and know what ought to be done. It is the ability to make right judgments. Prudence gives us the knowledge of what must be done, when it must be done, and how it must be done. Prudence is NOT timidity, an avoidance of all danger, cowardice, lack of initiative, self-preservation, never spending any money, or an excessive focus on manners (e.g., the term "prude").
