Glenn Gutek, Atticus Senior Practice Advisor, led this
recent Graduate Network call where he tackled the "do's and don'ts"
of firm retreats. Every healthy law firm needs to focus on both the
forest and the trees. Firm retreats are a necessary component to ensuring
you occasionally ask the big questions about the future of the firm, keep
partners and staff aligned on the most important objectives, and ensure that
the firm is going in the right direction.
During the call Glenn covered the following topics:
Do we go onsite or offsite?
Facilitate ourselves, or
bring in a facilitator?
Who needs to be around the
table?
Do we build in play or get
right to work?
What about spouses?
One day or two?
Over a weekend or during the
week?
How do we determine what must
be on the agenda?
Burger King, McDonalds or
Taco Bell?
Listen in on the conversation.....
