Senior Leadership Advisory

Independent support for the decisions that shape the firm

Some decisions carry consequences far beyond the issue immediately in front of you. Growth, partner performance, succession, leadership dynamics and firm direction are often connected, and not always easy to test openly inside the organisation.

 

Robin Johnson works confidentially with managing partners and senior leadership teams as an independent adviser and sounding board. He brings commercial experience, outside perspective and the freedom to ask questions that people inside the firm may find harder to raise.

HOW ROBIN WORKS WITH FIRMS

Three core areas of support

Strategic advisory

Confidential support for managing partners and leadership teams on growth strategy, firm direction, leadership dynamics and decisions that can’t easily be delegated. 

Growth committees

Independent challenge at the point where commercial decisions are made, including partner performance, revenue, collection rates, charge-out rates, meeting effectiveness and growth accountability.

PARTNER PERFORMANCE

The greatest ROI in partner performance is often with your most successful people, who often take up less of one’s time and so can be neglected. Robin spends most of his time supporting top-tier partners and support staff.

HOW ROBIN SUPPORTS FIRMS

HOW THIS SHOWS UP IN PRACTICE

Senior leadership issues rarely stay neatly within one category. A partner retention risk may expose unclear expectations, weak succession planning or wider accountability problems. A growth committee may be reviewing the right figures but failing to turn them into decisions. A technically excellent leader may need to develop the commercial judgement required at the next level.

 

Robin helps establish what is really happening, identify what is at stake and move the issue towards a practical resolution. Some clients bring him in for a defined situation. Others retain him as a trusted external adviser they can call on as decisions develop.

ABOUT

WHY ROBIN

Robin founded and ran a multimillion-pound branding and corporate communications agency in central London, working with clients including Deloitte. After selling the trading business in 2000, he moved into senior leadership advisory.

 

That operating background means his advice is grounded in the realities of building a business, employing people, serving demanding clients and making decisions with commercial consequences.

 

Over more than 25 years, Robin has supported more than 500 senior leaders across professional services and other technically led organisations in more than 20 countries. Long-term and repeat relationships are the norm. These figures should be reconfirmed before publication.
