Mark Powers led this call on completing the year and planning for the comping year. Prior to listening to the call you may want to list out your goals or tolerations for the office as well as choosing one team goal that can be accomplished in the first 90 days of 2011. Some suggestions:

• One goal that will increase productivity or profit for the firm
• One goal that will allow the office or your team to incorporate a new piece of technology. Let your team decide on what technology they will incorporate, but have the discussion
• One goal that will add GREAT value to the clients

Tolerations can be those things that are inconsistent with the firm's vision for client care, staff care, efficient production or profitability. Some examples:

• Piles of files around the office
• pulling appropriate files for long-term storage
• Year-end evaluations
• Outstanding collections
