Deep in the Heart of Texas, we were working with a fast-growing law firm. The partners had already opened a regional expansion office and had a young rockstar litigator (we’ll call him Duke) who was earmarked to take the lead.

We wargamed the transition during our CEO forum. We brainstormed the role, comp plan, how to transition the work, and how to prepare the team. We talked to everybody about our big plans for Duke…except Duke.

Someone else WAS talking to Duke: the competition. They had a strategy and a concrete plan for Duke, and were taking the time to share vision over steak dinners and Tito’s vodka. Before our clients could make their move, Duke turned in his resignation. The COST OF INACTION was unbearable and set their expansion back two years.
