First 100 Days

Patrick McKenna has written a clever and insightful 'e-book' on what managing partners should consider during their first 100 days in office.  The book is more of an article, with advice from managing partners from some of the world's largest and most influential law firms.  The article offers advice like:

- Establish an advice network
-  Pay attention to personal habits
-  Negotiate specific metrics for success
-  Identify one burning imperative
-  Get partner buy-in.

Words of wisdom from managing partners include:

-  Trust your C-level staff . They are usually right.  (I really like that one)
-  Don't micro-manage
-  Listen
-  Give credit to others
-  Become an advocate for one important change
-  Little things (gestures) make a big difference
-  Did I mention, Listen?

The e-book is in an interesting format - not your typical pdf.  Read:  First 100 Days by Patrick McKenna - it is short and full of wisdom for any leader.
