Interesting book by law firm management consultant Patrick McKenna: First 100 Days: Transitioning a New Managing Partner. In addition to some of his own useful observations about law firm management, McKenna also offers real-world commentary of leaders from firms like Baker & McKenzie, Morgan Lewis, Pillsbury Winthrop, Ropes & Gray and Sonnenschein.
The format of the e-book is interesting too, but I’d rather not have to navigate a ‘clever interface’ to gather information about McKenna’s book. How about a simple website? Or a blog? Mr. McKenna’s book has great information and I’d like to get at it more easily. Why not do something like what Daniel Gilbert did to promote his book, Stumbling on Happiness?
P.S. If you want a practice optimized for remote work & virtual collaboration, get this 24-page guide.
