Passive Management in Small Firms: Is Anyone Actually Steering the Ship?
I have worked with over one thousand law firms over the years and it certainly seems to me that a number of smaller law firms around the country are being passively managed. Is this a problem? Well yes, it very well could be.
Now I define passive management as reactive decision making or making decisions only when absolutely necessary. Often in such firms the managing partner is serving on a part-time basis without compensation and their primary responsibility is to address staff related issues and administrative functions when deemed necessary. The reality is that in a firm that is being passively managed, no true firm leadership exists. From a business perspective, no one is steering the ship.
