Wanted: A Managing Partner - Expectations
What do the partners of the firm expect their Managing Partner to provide for them? Some of them will want a visionary leader, one who can not only see opportunities for the firm, but also inspire others in the firm to make the changes necessary to obtain those opportunities. Others may have expectations that require the Managing Partner to be more cautious and conservative in their approach to firm leadership. What happens when the expectations of the group are not the same? Obviously, there will be dissent among the group and the firm will not make the progress they are looking for as they elect the leader of the firm.
