direction that this leader championed. It can all make for a rather awkward
and potential conflict of egos. Yet most departing leaders care deeply
about the firm and are willing to help their successor, even when that
successor in convinced that a new direction is needed. The departing
leaders knowledge, insight, ability to anticipate problems and their
internal contacts favors owed them by other power partners can be
invaluable. All they need is for you to appreciate their past efforts,
show some empathy for what they may be going through emotionally as they
retire from their leadership office, and ask for their help. Create
constructive dialogue with key thought leaders and power brokers within
your firm. Many of these individuals may be members of your firm's
Executive Committee. You need to meet one-on one with every member
especially those who are your most influential or critical peers and those
who may have a direct opinion and impact on your ultimate success. My
experience confirms that you also need to identify the board within the
board - that faction of partners on the Executive Committee that wield
disproportionate power. Prior to your being elected managing partner, if
you have not served on the Executive Committee, been a practice group
leader or interacted regularly with the firm's management, your investing
time to understand the internal power politics must begin before you
officially assume office. 7 First Hundred Days: Transitioning A New
