Are you the manager or the visionary?

I was just getting used to the "Information Age" when I learned about Dan Pink from Stewart Levine, a friend of mine.

Pink says we’re moving out of the information age and into the "conceptual age" in which creativity will be supreme.

Wow, sure is tough to stay current. Someone asked me today about widgets. I said I learned about them, along with Blackacre, in law school. But, apparently, widgets has taken on a whole new meaning. 🙂

How does this impact the law firm? Well, is the leader of your firm a visionary, one who can see the future for the firm, or a manager, one who implements the firm’s policies? It is rare that we find one person embracing both roles.
