Leadership
A great Leadership Conference. The MPIEs always excel.
I look forward to this Conference every year. It really helps me to be a more effective firm leader.
A very organized and well-run conference. Great food. Great hospitality.
Thank you for allowing me to participate. Your team is masterful at making all feel valued at your event and I dare say helping attendees see the value in attending.
Thank you for the invite to speak on the Managing Partner panel. Even though I have now attended 7 MPFs, I always bring back substantive and helpful information for my partners.
Hands down the best leadership conference for managing partners I've ever attended.
I highly recommend the MPF Leadership Conference. I've participated many times, as have several of my partners. We leave with new ideas and fresh perspectives every time.
I thoroughly enjoyed participating in this year's Conference. Thank you for your enthusiasm and leadership.
Thank you for what you do for our industry. I go to a lot of conferences, and your event is the one I look forward to and gain the most from each year.
Thank you for putting on another outstanding MPF Conference. I came away, once again, feeling reassured and encouraged.
THE MANAGING PARTNER AS CEO
The managing partner is, essentially, the CEO of a multi-million dollar enterprise. As such, the CEO should focus attention on setting the strategic direction of the organization, building consensus among its owners, and initiating changes necessary to insure the long-term success and prosperity of the law firm.
It takes a very special person to be effective in the role. It’s a lot like herding cats, as Dr. Larry Richard asserts in his often-quoted article examining lawyer personalities. It requires a combination of vision, toughness, compassion and superior interpersonal skills. Above all, it takes passion and commitment.
And they sure didn’t teach you much about it in law school. For most managing partners, it’s quite literally on-the-job training.
In this section, we feature the best information available on leadership, governance and the role of the managing partner.
