Why Is Finding Great Employees So Difficult? (And What To Do About It That No One Else Is Doing)
Finding great employees is difficult. Keeping them is tougher. Why? It goes back to the 80/20 rule, which plays a part in every aspect of life. Only the top 20% of the workforce can be considered the best, and everyone is competing for that same talent pool (unless you’re content with being mediocre). Let’s look […]
Are You Winning the War For Talent? Law Firm A vs. Law Firm B
What makes one law firm better (or worse) than the other? If you’re like every other human being out there, you (subjectively) believe you’re one of the best around at what you do.

Brown M&M’s… It’s Not What You Think
I once read The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande, which told a story about David Lee Roth. You see, David Lee Roth was, and after a two-decade separation, now is again, the lead singer of one of the biggest rock bands in history: Van Halen. Van Halen puts on one heck of a show. In […]

A Decision That Changed My Life
On a Friday morning years ago I made a decision that changed my life. My wife and I were considering leaving early for a weekend road trip. We were going to a food and wine festival a few hours away for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. In order to leave early, however, I had […]
