Most firm owners think they have a strategy problem. What they actually have is a standards problem.
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill take on three questions every growth-minded firm owner eventually faces: why a six-figure software implementation still isn't sticking, whether to make a major hire before everything feels "ready," and what to do when an org chart that hasn't changed in years stops fitting the business. Michael makes the case that waiting, outsourcing, and settling for "fine" are all the same problem wearing different clothes, and that the fix starts with owning the standard yourself.
Here's what you'll learn:
Why outsourcing leadership lets your standards slip, and how to pull them back
How to tell the difference between being responsible and just procrastinating on a decision you've already made
What it really takes to know whether your team and structure can carry you to the next level
Stop waiting for the right time, the right hire, or the right consultant to save you: this episode is your push to own the standard yourself.
