New partner's guide to management

Often new partners have little or no formal training for the management roles they will be required to fulfil as partners and no help to cope with the pressures that those added roles can bring.

This practical guide helps new partners manage the potentially difficult transition from employee to employer.

Looking at management issues through the perspective of personal career development, the guide helps new partners to: analyse the new management roles that they will be expected to fulfil, such as personal management, accounts, managing people, marketing and planning; assess what the firm is offering, how the firm's performance can be measured and what rewards are possible; develop their own personal skills, as well as those of the teams around them; and protect themselves through partnership documentation.

This book should prove useful reading for aspiring and new partners working their way up the career ladder.
