just as every person has a unique personality, every business has a unique culture. while possessing a distinct culture is a great way to separate a business from the pack, our clients don\u2019t often talk about how<\/em> to change, improve or grow their unique culture.<\/p>\n

when i speak with partners about growing their firms, the conversation almost always goes to bringing in more business. and while i don\u2019t disagree that bringing in more business is a key component to growth, i often have to step back and ask why a problem exists in the first place. what i\u2019ve learned is that many times firms hit a wall because they haven\u2019t established a culture of growth.<\/em>
\n
\nif you are only expected to work hard, meet your billable hours and obtain continuing education, you will miss a vital step. sometimes firms tell their younger staff that they need to network and build the business. in rare cases, firms might even have this written down. however, what i find is that many firms don\u2019t give their people enough time, or more importantly, opportunities to develop the skills they will need to be rainmakers and thought leaders in their firm.<\/p>\n

building a culture of growth needs to start long before associates become partners. the most successful firms lead with the following important components.<\/p>\n

expect participation in growth activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

firm leaders need to set the expectation that growth activities are important and provide their team with the tools, resources, training and mentoring to develop the skills appropriate for each level. while employees always have a choice in what they do, the firm should make it very clear that associates cannot progress to the partner level without certain skills. this expectation manifests differently in every organization; however, the best-of-the-best firms incorporate growth activities into their performance metrics and job descriptions.<\/p>\n

train early.<\/strong><\/p>\n

when building a growth culture, you can\u2019t assume people will simply pick up the skills by osmosis. firms that have a culture of growth train their people and provide them with the tools and resources they need to succeed.<\/p>\n

reward the right behaviors at the right level.<\/strong><\/p>\n

firms with a focus on growth have realistic expectations. they don\u2019t expect a young staff person to bring in $50,000 a year, but they do want them engaged in the right behaviors and activities. as individuals progress, expectations and rewards should evolve accordingly. a firm should never<\/em> lower its standards.<\/p>\n

firms with a growth culture don\u2019t have one or two rainmakers contributing to growth. they have a high-functioning firm with many contributors. as a result, these firms tend to have natural successors.<\/p>\n

building a culture of growth doesn\u2019t happen overnight. it is a commitment that takes time and intention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
