How I Made Office Managing Partner: 'It's Simple: Be Nice and Do Your Part,' Says John Schreiner of Perkins Coie
"It's simple: be nice and do your part. Of course, at a table stakes level, doing the responsibilities of your job effectively is critical. On top of that and, I think just as importantly, it doesn't cost anything to say thank you, or ask how someone's day is going, or to take some time out of your day to provide feedback. It also makes work a lot more fun and meaningful. And you never know, the associate you're working with at midnight on a Saturday could end up being your client one day."
