Ready to Change?

Every firm has challenges they purposely avoid. Are you facing any of these examples?

  • An Incompetent Leader rewarded handsomely for poor results
  • A Toxic Manager in a position of power infects your firm with a culture of fear, favoritism, and hostility 
  • A Predatory Legal Team executes a playbook of employee intimidation
  • Growing Technical Debt ignored waiting to crush your firm
  • Stalled or failed projects without intervention to change course
  • Do It Yourself internal projects endlessly wander in the desert of no results

Would it be a bad idea to stop pretending that challenges resolve themselves?

In the first place, it’s rare that firms are proactive. Secondly, how does Leadership overcome common obstacles?

  • heavily invested in the status quo
  • see only risk to themselves and fail to solve for their firm
  • intimidated by imposters
  • no playbook to change effectively
If it’s not broken to them, why would they spend their political capital to advocate for the necessary change?

Of course, a crisis is typically the catalyst where an outside perspective is sought or a rescue swimmer is required. Now, complications become obstacles to action. Common challenges include:

  • Morale is low, Trust is absent, and Flight Risk is high.
  • How do you remove the incompetent effectively?
  • How do you solve problems instead of studying them endlessly?

Is there a better way?

Perhaps. Ask yourself three questions:

  1. Are you afraid to make a change? 
  2. Would it be a bad idea to seek assistance?
  3. If you are serious, what is your next move?
