At some point, every growing accounting firm takes their best person, puts them in a leadership role, and hopes for the best. And for a while it kind of works. Until it doesn't...
Mike and Matt are in the middle of this right now. 60 people, multiple team leads, a director of accounting, and an honest conversation about the fact that being great at the work and being great at leading people are two completely different skill sets. And they haven't always treated them that way.
In this episode:
Why promoting your best accountant into a leadership role is the most common mistake growing firms make
What actually happens when you hand someone a team and say "figure it out"
The accountability gap that shows up when leaders don't know what they're actually allowed to hold people to
How to think about training when you already can't fit everything into the calendar you have
Why developing leaders inside your accounting firm is the highest ROI thing you're probably not doing intentionally
