Yes, it seems that Tony the Tiger was a trendsetter. Like many, many others, I’m in the midst of reading Jim Collins’ latest bestseller Good to Great. The book theorizes that great companies all possess “a corporate culture that rigorously found and promoted disciplined people to think and act in a disciplined manner.” As I’ve read along, I’ve thought a lot about how the book’s blueprint for greatness applies to law firms. So, I was happy to come across this article discussing that very subject. The author makes many valid points, but I think the most salient is that law firms can’t cultivate excellence unless they choose and train leaders based on outstanding people and business skills rather than seniority, billable quotas and rainmaking.
