Bankruptcy

Józef Piłsudski explained in his Journals why he entrusted the mission of forming the first government in a free Poland to a gentleman who called himself Ignacy Daszyński: “Because he was a lawyer. And lawyers, as a rule, in what they do pursue the ideal.” Shortly and after the soldier.

I used to be in PR training for lawyers, but rather for board members. So I didn’t flaunt the fact that I was an idealistic lawyer this time, but I listened intently. And that’s good, because at some point the conversation went down about lawyers. Many participants complained in harsh and bitter words that their lawyers were completely detached from the practical problems of the company. Someone even said indignant and without wrapping in cotton , “If I had done everything as my lawyer advises me, I would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.”

I sat and with a beating heart, in silence, I thought what Piłsudski was saying about us. It doesn’t have to be that lawyers today are blind. But the important reason is: whether the lawyer does not understand or does not want to understand the practice of the company, or rather forgets about the practical solution, because he machinally and unconsciously pursues some ideal. Or he is afraid of responsibility, for his advice. You have to ask a lawyer. But surely, you can not go bankrupt. This also applies to the bankruptcy of ideals.
