How to stop partners from nicking your team
Have you ever had a key team member reassigned by a senior partner, leaving you in the lurch?
It's a constant risk for anyone who manages assignments whether as a senior associate, director or even junior partner. It can leave you feeling powerless and scrambling to meet your deadlines.
This episode is all about taking back control by building a resilient team that can withstand internal politics. I'll share my practical tips to make your team almost poach-proof.
Listen to this episode to discover:
- Why you should look for the overlooked "Steady Eddies" instead of the A-star performers everyone wants.
- How to talk with your partners like a peer, turning a resource squeeze into a collective problem to solve.
- Practical ways to be a great manager so that people want to work with you and are less likely to be tempted away.
- The importance of having a Plan B and C for your resources so you are never caught off guard.
