Since agreeing to work with firms like the one I used to own, I've had the privilege of seeing inside 900+ firms like yours in 30 countries. What I find in each one has changed over the years, but some things are oddly consistent. Do a "ride along" with me and see if you can see yourself in these scenarios. What do principals usually do well and what do they struggle with? What recommendations do they welcome and which ones do they fight me on? I won't break any confidentiality obligations, but I will share some mildly sanitized stories and help you end your week with a humorous look in the mirror.
