With Pam 

"Let me think about it."
"Run it by me first."
"Don't send anything until I approve it."
"I'll get to it tonight."

Meanwhile, the client is waiting.

The employee is waiting.
The candidate is waiting.
The lead is waiting.
And the law firm is waiting.

Some of the biggest growth problems inside law firms aren't people problems or process problems.

They're decision problems.

This hour is about identifying where decisions are getting stuck — especially when the bottleneck is sitting in the owner's chair.

• How to identify your firm's biggest Decision Bottlenecks
• The hidden operational cost of "Let me think about it"
• Why employees stop taking initiative when every decision requires approval
• The difference between oversight and dependency
• Which decisions should require attorney approval — and which absolutely should not
• How to create Decision Rights by role
• The 70% Rule: when there's enough information to move
• How to replace permission-seeking with recommendation-making
• Your 7-day challenge: remove yourself from three recurring decisions
