true story

we worked with a five-partner firm on the east coast on succession planning. the partners were all in their late 50s and 60s and two or three of them planned to retire in the next five years. they were wrestling with a tough decision: do we merge into a larger firm as our exit strategy or do we/can we gradually turn the firm over to our three managers, all of whom have the talent and experience to be a partner? they dreaded the former option and preferred the latter.
