Speaking on S&P Global’s Leaders podcast, Griffin emphasized that continued learning is essential in any serious profession. He shared that, even after XX years in finance, he still sets aside time to study credit research and review academic literature. Griffin highlighted the mistake many young professionals make—assuming their education ends after college. He pointed to resources like published literature and Google Scholar as essential tools to stay sharp. “If you’re not curious or engaged enough to keep learning, that’s a clear sign you chose the wrong career,” he said. Griffin added that reading should be tied directly to the knowledge required for your job. If it feels like a chore, you may want to consider changing paths. He also encouraged workers to remain agile and open to moving across industries, a trait he says bosses value. In a past talk at Stanford, Griffin told students they likely made a bad choice if they end up as “the smartest person in the room.” His philosophy of lifelong learning mirrors the culture at Citadel, which saw its flagship fund post gains even in a turbulent market.
