About this product

Product Information

Professional services firms - from the legal sector to accountancy, consulting and beyond - face increased disruption. Service delivery models are under pressure to adapt to changing client expectations. Technology offers new ways of working with clients, but changes the skills profile required of professionals, and threatens the traditional people-centred business model. The Professional Services Leadership Handbook equips leaders, and aspiring leaders, with tools and insights both to tackle these long-term disruptive trends and to maximise their firm's profitability today. Leaders of professional services firms find themselves with a daunting, but exciting, range of challenges ahead. Using practical insights drawn from experienced professional services leaders, the Professional Services Leadership Handbook explores new models and working practices to address four components of strategic leadership: clients, business, people and self leadership. It offers clear-sighted analysis of common pain points, and provides innovative solutions for dealing with them. This practical guide is designed for everyone involved in leadership decisions, whether that be a practice area, sector group, business function, or even firm-wide leadership role. It will help readers to focus their attention on the activities that will really make a difference to the success of their firm.

Reviews
This eminently practical handbook guides successful professionals on how to build the additional personal competencies they need to stand out as effective leaders. Through a robust interview process with industry leaders, as well as their many years of collective consulting experiences, the authors present a series of thoughtful frameworks and a synthesis of well-constructed leadership lessons. It all amounts to a really useful companion for those who have committed themselves to making the challenging personal transitions ahead - tomorrow's leaders!, An essential read if you are either a leader or an adviser to the top team of a professional services firm., At last a professional services leadership guide that's based on well researched and real experiences, I would recommend this is read by anyone who seriously wants to gain an extra edge., The Professional Services Leadership Handbook is an excellent tool for future and experienced leaders operating in a dynamic, and ever changing business-to-business environment, where differentiation is a critical success factor, and where leaders often misunderstand how to lead. This is a must read handbook., The authors successfully distinguish the difference between delivering projects and leading professional services firms...This book helps to guide anyone in the industry from project / delivery management to leading teams and businesses to optimise performance., "The Professional Services Leadership Handbook is really interesting, hugely practical and a thoroughly good read. Professionals entering the unfamiliar world of leadership will find clear, readable and entertaining advice, peppered with insights from firm leaders. The "how to" approach to knotty issues such as strategy, profitability and client focus is particularly helpful, as is the focus on you as a leader and how you can develop the right skills and mind-set. If you are a leader, or you want to be one, keep this book close, as it will be an invaluable companion. I wish it had been written twenty years ago!"

I will not be buying from this seller again. Ad description "very good". Seller did not package and ship hardcover book with the precautions as I expected. As a result, the book arrived damaged.

Had to repurchase the book because the first one arrived badly damaged during transit. I contacted seller 3 times with no response but went ahead and recorder. Seller finally replied after I repurchased the second copy thanking me for my order. So had to buy this book twice and pay shipping twice. Second order arrived in good shape but packing still thin.
