The the first time I read The Power Of A System, I was hooked.The second time I read The Power Of A System, I took notes.Lots of them.The third time I read The Power Of A System, I highlighted John's book.The beauty of John's writing style is that he describes the exact systems he uses in his office to control everything from incoming telephone calls to what his secretary does and does not do on a daily basis.Many of the things John describes in using systems are, at first glance, common sense.Many attorneys who are in practice for themselves or with a group of other like-minded attorneys, will quickly realize that they personally do many of these things each and every day.The problem is that each of these lawyers have no system for doing it continuously day in and day out.Each of us reinvents the wheel practically every time we need the same thing done for each new client. What a waste of time and resources to do it that way.Once you understand how powerful it is to create systems, similar to the ones John uses every day in his law practice, you begin to immediately recognize how powerful creating these systems are.It makes no difference whether you are a personal injury attorney, a real estate attorney, a criminal defense lawyer, divorce attorney, a medical malpractice attorney or whatever your specialty. You need to apply these principles into your daily practice and then have your secretaries and paralegals understand how these systems work.The reality is that as the attorney, you are responsible for those you supervise in order to perform the legal work and legal functions that your employees do on a daily basis.
I'm going to go into this in depth because I enjoyed 97% of the book. A bit of background, I've been a practicing lawyer for 15 years and (knock on wood) pretty successful. What I struggled with was two things running the firm and streamlining marketing. This book deals with those two things.Pro's:- Well written, you can tell it wasn't just repurposed blogs or some crap that he put together one weekend. He explains why he suggests things and spends some solid time organizing and writing.- Concrete examples of what works! This is huge, really huge. I've read the E-myth attorney which is a top down, view from 10,000 feet but no hard specifics, same with some of the other books and consultants I've worked with. What I want is a form, an example of what YOU do, what works for you. Don't tell me "automate" and end it that. How the hell do I automate!?! John shows you exactly how on many key points (not everyone) but he goes into a lot of hard, specific details.- Responsive, I've emailed his office and got a response that was very much appreciated.- He's a real lawyer. Not a guy with a JD who couldn't hack it as real lawyer and now consults. Go to his website and you see he takes cases, settles and tries cases. I am always weary of guys who are consultants but don't have a law office.Cons: As with anything there are a couple things that you shake your head at.- His age is showing. Let me explain, I'm only 8 years younger than John but when he says you need to have clients fax in a request for a telephone call, I think "What's a fax?" It's a bit older thinking since the vast majority of my cases are clients in their 30's and have no idea where to even find a fax machine.
