This email was not a compliant of any kind or a wistle blowing of any kind. It was a high level detailed of some ideas related to employee recruitment and a request that I might be allowed to develop a 2010 plan based on these ideas. The VP whom I copied into the email wrote to me stating that the CEO would likely not respond to my email and said that he wished I would have told him I was planning on sending the email. Of course, I didnt because I didnt want anyone to put the kabosh on it without even presenting it to the CEO. If the CEO doenst respond I will see this as Errogant, especially considering the fact that the CEO himself gave his telephone number to the entire Denver office durring his last visite.

The elements that can weaken are innovation and focus. I suspect this is because, for example, law firm marketing is not targeted enough. As a result staff and partners end up doing whatever work come through the door rather than actively attracting specific types of clients/work. My view is that professional service firms need strong reputation management/ personal branding alongside the overall marketing strategy. Do you agree?
