The 8 “Know-How’s” essential to success for practice growth.
1. Can you position your firm by finding the central idea that meets client needs and makes money? And, as will increasingly be required, can you appropriately reposition it?
2. Are you able to pinpoint external change by detecting patterns ahead of others and put your firm on the offensive?
3. Do you know how to lead the social system of your firm by getting the right people together with the right behaviors to make better, faster decisions and achieve business results?
4. Can you judge people by finding their best talents based on facts and observations and matching them with a job?
5. Are you molding a team by getting highly competent leaders to submerge their egos and coordinate seamlessly?
6. Do you know how to develop goals by balancing what the business can become with what it can realistically achieve, not merely looking in the rear-view mirror and making incremental adjustments to what’s been done before?
7. Can you set laser-sharp priorities by defining the specific tasks that align resources, actions, and energy to accomplish the goals?
8. Can you deal with forces beyond the market by creatively and positively responding to societal pressures you don’t control but that significantly impact your business?
