The New Partner's Leadership Workbook
You Made Partner. Now You Have to Manage People, Build Business, and Still Practice Law.
You made partner. Being the best partner is a different job.
For the newly made partner — typically in their first one to three years — who has discovered that the skills of an excellent associate are not the same skills required of an excellent partner.
The Name It First Experience
You spent years excelling at executing work. Now you originate it, price it, manage the people doing it. Your New Partner Leadership Charter moves from identity naming through client development philosophy to leadership commitment. The work is yours. This is where you write it down.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What has making partner revealed about what you actually signed up for?
- Where has the gap between what you imagined and what the role requires felt widest?
- What does leading people, building business, and still practicing law — without losing yourself — look like?
