Poised for Partnership: How to successfully move from senior associate and senior manager to partner by building a cast-iron personal and business case for partnership

Since the second edition was published, the world has been permanently changed by the global COVID-19 pandemic. What was initially, for most countries and professional service firms, a 3-6 month period of working from home rather than the office, has now become a permanent shift. The reality is that you probably now have the most amount of choice you have ever had about where you work.

The 3rd edition has been fully updated to give you the guidance you need to tackle the challenges which comes with this new way of working, such as:
* How to grow your profile amongst the partners when you or they are not always in the office
* How to keep a separation between work and home
* How to create a strong hybrid team with good social cohesion

Making the transition from senior employee to partner in a professional services firm is the hardest career move you will ever make. The fully updated 3rd edition of Poised for Partnership is a clear roadmap (for the post COVID-19 world) that strengthens your case and makes reaching partnership inevitable if you’ve got ‘the right stuff’. And if you haven’t, it will show you how to get it. If you buy this book you'll learn:

(1) How to score highly in the 12 key indicators which demonstrate your readiness for partnership
(2) Tried and tested strategies to successfully make it thought to partner track and the partnership admissions process to partner
(3) How to grow your profile and reputation, even if you are mostly working from home
(4) How to create a cast-iron Business Case and Personal Case for partnership, even if you don’t have any previous experience of selling services
(5) How to find enough time to start to consistently work on your career plan and win your own work, even if your billable time targets are sky high

Poised for Partnership is the book that moved my career forward and knocked years off of my partnership track. This book is mandatory reading for anyone who wants to go from associate to partner.
