Kogan Page, 2013
Aperçu
Becoming a partner in a professional firm is tough. Being a partner can be even tougher. Are you sure you’re ready?
Recommendation
Making partner in a private professional practice has always been tough, but with business retrenchment across the globe, it’s tougher now than ever. Executive coach Heather Townsend and talent management consultant Jo Larbie detail a viable partnership path for accountants, architects, engineers, attorneys and other professionals in today’s competitive corporate environment. Note that the authors spend more of the book’s attention on making partner than on still having a life, but that’s what being a partner is like. getAbstract recommends Townsend and Larbie’s guidance to those who work at partnership firms and charge clients for their time. This very basic career manual explains how to win the partnership war and how to survive the stresses of battle and of victory. It’s up to you to decide if it is a war worth winning.
