Law Firms Disappointed With Associate Hours
A legal consultant just said to me, “I deal with partners all the time who complain that associates aren’t working enough billable hours. When I dig further, I find they haven’t told associates what is expected of them.”
We are coming up on a new year. While having a new year isn’t required to turn over a new leaf, it gives us reason to do so. What do you expect from the firm’s professionals in 2007? Grasp the opportunity that the start of a new year gives you to set individual goals and measure actual performance going forward.
Firms that plan, set goals, measure, and hold people accountable perform best.
