i recently updated my research<\/a> on the role of the managing partner. how better to do this than to poll great mps from across the country? so that\u2019s what i did.<\/p>\n

i received responses from 17 mps: three from firms with revenue exceeding $50 million; five firms were $20-50 million; six firms were $10-20 million; and three firms were $5-10 million. as i expected, i received very eloquent, powerful and somewhat diverse advice.

\nthe group cited five main areas, not listed in any order.<\/p>\n

make the partners effective. <\/strong>the common thread was this: as the partners go, so goes the firm. this is not to say that staff are unimportant because nothing could be further from the truth. but like any great organization, success emanates from leadership and the partners are the firm\u2019s leaders who drive success.<\/p>\n

old-school thinking might have said, \u201cwe\u2019re partners. we don\u2019t need to be managed. we know our job is to drive the firm and we know how to do this on our own. we don\u2019t need or want help from anyone. in fact, we resent it if someone tries.\u201d<\/p>\n

new-school thinking says, \u201dhogwash! everyone can improve their performance. sure, some partners are excellent performers on their own. but the majority of partners perform better when they are accountable for their performance and behavior. partners are not entitled to an automatic waiver from oversight and guidance on their performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

our managing partner group feels that making partners effective is a critically important part of their job.<\/p>\n
