All firms have it, but no one wants to talk about it. Leadership hopes it will fix itself, but it won’t. Dealing with underperforming partners is one of those topics that make managing partners and firm leaders cringe. No one wants to have “the talk” with the underperformer. To be an effective administrator and to move your firm forward, you must address this situation —no matter how uncomfortable it makes you.

 

Objectives:

  • Discuss the cost to the firm beyond financial.
  • Recognize why underperformance happens.
  • Identify the reasons for the underperformance.
  • Learn the role you can play in turning around the situation.
