Serving at the Pleasure of My Partners: Advice to the New Firm Leader

This book is a compilation of the best questions and answers processed over the past three years by the Managing Partner's Leadership Advisory Board (LAB) – a hand-selected group of distinguished current and former firm leaders, all with at least 10 years of experience, who address the distinctive challenges facing first-time law firm leaders. Eighteen chapters address some of the most common questions that new leaders have as they take office. Contents cover a wide range of issues, including how to better manage your time, how to deal with a chronic complainer, how to measure performance, and how to deal with complacency. This work focuses on helping leaders develop the skills to handle all of these issues and more.
