by

pile of documents on desk stack up high waiting to be managed.“stop defaulting to asking every talented person you have to work more hours doing stuff other people can and should be doing.”

as we said in our previous column, why you must constantly push work down, we are talking about how firms will need to alter their thinking regarding outsourcing, administrative support and the administrative time of partners and managers. we discuss how the lack of delegation impedes competency development, why partners working more hours end up creating a weaker bench, and more.

in these situations, we tend to find that often the partners, and sometimes the managers, are billing too many hours. meanwhile many staff, especially at the lowest levels within the firm, consistently are missing their billable hour targets.

by bill reeb

as i have said before, overachievers tend to

  • be overly optimistic about how efficiently they can accomplish any particular activity or
  • take care of themselves only after everyone else on their list has been satisfied.
