Today the owner of that restaurant let a $10,000 customer walk out the door because of the ego of his or her manager. And what's worse there's no way for that owner to even know where all his or her profits are going? He or she is probably busy blaming "the economy"!
The so-called "competition"
You've seen it over & over & over again... A "new" lawyer comes onto the scene and just kicks-butt...
And all the more "experienced" lawyers, arguably even "better" lawyers are standing-around scratching their heads wondering How This Is Possible?
Fear
Fear
It's what screws things up for most lawyers who aren't as happy with their law firms or their lives as they could be.
And fear has an ugly way of growing into frustration, resentment, defensiveness, anger and worst-of-all the twin-devils: Justification & Compromise.
Thoughts on Staffing a Successful Law Firm
There are several different business models for building a successful law firm. Most of them require some level of legal staff be hired, trained, managed motivated and measured for productivity & profitability.
To say "well I just won't have staff" is like saying you're going to lock yourself in a jail cell and then throw the key through the bars to where you cannot reach it. Even if you change your mind.
Having great staff can be a blessing.
Having less-than-great staff can be a torture.
