“The job of a managing partner is to make sure that there's a plan in place… and that the people… are actually doing what they need to do to make the plan work.” – RJon Robins
Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.
In this lesson from How To Manage a Small Law Firm's April 2017 Live Quarterly Meeting, RJon breaks down the role of a managing partner. He explains what they actually do and why it matters for law firm owners.
Most owners believe that having a plan is enough. But planning, preparation, and execution are not the same. And when growth starts to feel uncomfortable, even the best plans can fall apart. That's where a managing partner comes in. Not just to work with the owner to create the plan, but to ensure it gets executed, and to hold people accountable.
Key Takeaways:
1. Planning is not the same as being prepared.
2. Your goals will feel unfamiliar and outside your comfort zone.
3. Your subconscious will try to pull you back to “safety” and that limits growth.
4. A managing partner creates accountability.
5. Execution requires structure and clarity.
6. The goal is to build a machine that moves forward so that the business continues to grow even when you hesitate.
RJon makes it clear that a managing partner isn't just responsible for managing the firm, they help remove the friction that holds most businesses back.
