I witness this same scenario play itself out, time after time, and we never seem to learn.

Imagine this: The practice group leader or managing partner has their attention drawn to the fact that one of our beloved partners is underperforming. This leader knew that the particular partner was underperforming. It did not come as a shock. But they were content to let the situation drift without resolution, rather than have to confront the ugly reality of the circumstances.

But today we have the facts thrust before us and now something must be done.
