 BUSINESS CHALLENGE
This mid-sized law firm decided it was time to create a common focus and shift from being a small firm … run like all small law firms … to an entrepreneurial company with a focus on being the best in the field. The business issues included strife among the non-partner staff members causing lower morale. There was a clear lack of alignment between partners and staff. The focus was on the people versus the system that created the friction.
