Manager/Leader Success Coaching:

Whether you are new practice group leader or an old hand, our manager/leader coaching program can be designed to fit your needs.  Learn the tricks of the trade, or update your repertoire with new ideas and innovations.  Select from a variety of modules, or we’ll create others to match what you have in mind.  Popular modules include: 

• Management and Leadership Overview: Taking on a leadership or managerial role necessitates a mind shift and a recognition of what needs to be done differently - we’ll cover why and how.
• Communications and Difficult Conversations:  All the basics, plus how to handle critical interactions relating to promotions, compensation, and other sensitive issues.
• Enunciating Your Vision: How to identify and articulate your vision to provide guidance while maintaining flexibility.
• Delegation as a Manager/Leader: Assessing everything that falls on your plate, thinking about activities categorically, identifying priorities, and delegating effectively from there.
• Decision Making: A review of key decision making techniques and how these options apply to your practice group or section.

Management Overview Document (MOD) Creation Program.

Connect the dots with an MOD - an extraordinarily helpful document that delineates, cross-references, and summarizes in one place the section or practice group's many projects using a bird's eye view.  We’ll create a document that incorporates visual tools that quickly convey essential aspects and information, such as associated goals and success measurement mechanisms, and is designed so that it can be frequently updated.  It will allow you to easily elicit helpful information that will aid in assessing progress and processing the information you receive, thereby facilitating decision-making and strategic planning on a going forward basis. 

Strategic Business/Practice Development Planning.

We work hands-on with law firms to develop customized strategic business/practice development plans that clearly identify goals, include specific implementation steps, and provide for success measurement as progress is made. Our innovative plans can be designed for an entire firm, or a specific department or practice area. Because our plans are flexible, they can concentrate on a few areas of intense interest, or a much broader array of subject matters.  Similarly, a plan can focus on business development, or practice development, or both.  Under any circumstances, we take your ideas and objectives as the starting point for the development of a customized strategic plan that brings definition to the things you want to achieve. Using our management and business development expertise, as well as current market information, we develop a customized blueprint and workable strategies that are matched to your organization.  Schedule a complimentary phone call to learn more about how we facilitate the process that translates your thoughts and ideas into a focused plan of action.
