Leadership Transition in a Law Firm
How does a law firm transition leadership from the founders or the current set of leaders to the next generation of leaders? There are three models of transition: King to Prince, CEO with credibility to COO with credibility and accepted founder/leader to people who should become leaders. Obviously the last model is the most difficult to execute. The approach for this transition model is also applicable to the first two. The King to Prince will probably not make the transition because benevolent despotisms crash if the Prince has not gone through a credibility building process.

However, there seems to be a lack of leaders in law firms today, creating a need for potential leaders to skip a level. The following is a process for skipping a level without creating a management crisis in the firm.
