David Maister presents "Management Missing in Action"
David Maister is presenting a webinar at 12:00 Noon, Eastern Time, on Wednesday, May 18, 2005, called 'Management Missing in Action'.
Seminar Overview:Professional firms all have the same goals and strategies: go after the (obvious) key clients in (obvious) key market sectors and stress (or claim) obvious things: excellence, teamwork, client service and so on. If everyone knows what to do, then what is competition in professional firms all about? The answer is the ability to generate, among the service providers of the firm, excitement, enthusiasm, passion, drive, commitment and ambition. And that’s the job of managers.
