Mike Morse ran his law firm as the Visionary and the Integrator for 12 years.. he didn’t know there was another way to do it.
He set the firm’s direction and worked the daily grind of every detail to achieve that vision. Which works fine… until it completely collapses.
The moment Mike finally brought someone in to run the operation, he saw what he’d been missing plus his firm grew from 27 employees to 300.
What we covered:
→ The exact point to hire your first integrator
→ What actually separates a visionary from an integrator
→ Why alignment matters more than friendship
→ How personality testing changes who you hire
→ The wish list that grew Mike’s firm from 27 to 300 people
The biggest takeaway: the people who build the biggest things are rarely the ones running them day to day.
