At the end of February / early March, the 2nd Edition of the report I have written: The Role of a Law Firm Partner in a Changing Legal Market will be re-published by Ark Publishing, which is very exciting.
What is not exciting is that many firms are still struggling to find that perfect balance between:
* profit sharing and equity balance
* getting the behaviours you expect for sustainable business
* performance related elements of pay
* successful energising of Top Talent
* managing succession planning
As one headhunter said the other day: 'If you need to call me in to help you find talent - then you have not been applying yourself to leading and managing your firm effectively'. Whilst this is a little glib, here are some questions to ask yourself:
- How confident are you that your firm will still exist in 10 years' time?
- What are you doing to ensure today's leaders are building tomorrow's leaders - and in whose likeness?
- How confident are you that your partners and associates are building relationships?
The Report has some answers, and James Parsons and I have further thoughts you might like to explore with us: do get in touch for a no commitment meeting: 0208 870 9781.
Talk soon
