Constructing and Managing a Synergistic Team I-W

The majority of FA associations that call themselves a team aren’t. In too many cases they are simply “working groups” that share ideas and resources, cover each other when they are out of the office, but still maintain their individual clientele. This model has all of the headaches and challenges that come with aligning, commu-nicating and managing a team, with virtually none of the leverage and synergy that can make the team so much more productive than their sole practitioner brethren. This program, using the met-aphor of an army squad, teaches the power and efficiency that can come from a small team of highly specialized practitioners, unified around a common vision and goals, to ultimately win the battle for their clients as well as themselves.
