Perfection is not the Goal

Incorporating self-management strategies does not have to be an all-or-nothing venture with the objective of implementing one model completely or perfectly. The key is to arrive at the best, most sensible ways to make distributing power throughout the organization functional, comfortable and beneficial – to create an environment in which further innovation can succeed. Getting locked into a single approach, without the flexibility or inclination to evolve, adapt or change course entirely, runs contrary to the very nature of innovation. When Counter Tax adopted self-management in December 2018, their ambition was simply to become something better than what traditional law firms had to offer. And even that idea – that each day, as an organization, you try to be two per cent better than you were yesterday; that you are mindful about moving in the right direction – has the potential to be truly revolutionary.
