Firm Believer: Lessons from Advising Some of the World's Best Professional Services Firms - Softcover
Synopsis
Strategic advice and insight from a consultant to the consultants: This great business read gets into how to make any firm more successful and profitable.
In business, expert advice is always available: management consultants, attorneys, accountants and the like all have wisdom to offer. But where do the experts go when their own firms need help adapting to change, nurturing talent, and protecting profit margins?
Many go to David C. Kuhlman, an advisor to leading professional firms and consultant to the consultants, who has spent four decades helping firms become the most effective versions of themselves.
In this penetrating book — suffused with strategic insight and personal reflection – Kuhlman writes with authority and affection about a world most people in the business world interact with but know little about. It turns out those leading and working for firms that offer sage advice to others face the same management challenges as other businesses.
The uniqueness of “Firm Believer” is in Kuhlman’s advice, which is both specific to leaders of highly accomplished professional firms and valuable to anyone striving for success at any organization. Despite the best of intentions and strategies, all businesses make mistakes and miss opportunities, Kuhlman notes. They chase the wrong kind of growth. They fail at change management. They struggle to cultivate the next generation of leaders. Kuhlman has seen all these scenarios. He has perspectives and lessons to share based on decades helping best-of-the-best professional services firms look inward and rethink their own paths to success.
Chapters in “Firm Believer” address:
- Good growth vs. bad growth
- Retaining talent in a competitive world
- How to find funding to invest in a firm’s future
- Keys to implementing successful strategies
- Managing change and understanding resistance
- The contradictory characteristics of leadership
This book is for leaders of professional services firms and those who aspire to leadership positions. It is also a valuable text for anyone pursuing a career in any organization, because the secrets to success at a global consulting firm, a law firm or accounting are useful to everyone.
