Guidance for New Law Firm Leaders
"As you take charge, you'll be working with an established team, most often including the members of your management committee, your chief operating officer, your practice and industry group leaders, your office heads, and your various professional support staff," says law firm strategist Patrick McKenna. "These colleagues all have their own work patterns and entrenched habits. They want to learn how you like to operate.

In this Bloomberg Law article, he talks about the mistakes new law firm leaders should avoid.
