Purpose and Tables

I didn’t have a single subject in law and application management. I knew nothing about setting goals and strategies. I was convinced that in litigation everything happens differently, after legal. In the process, seemingly, management is unnecessary. You know: the goal is to win the case. In practice, the Customer wants to agree on goals. Customers, very fond of using and even abusing the word STRATEGY. Even if the customer comes with the case about 5 thousand. PLN, and sends two invoices and a couple of emails, the next day he calls and asks, “Mr. Patron, what strategy do we have”. At first, I didn’t take it seriously.

As I learned, the goals must be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bounded. That’s it. Sometimes clichés are revealing when we try to put them into practice. After many years of working and reading many books, I think everything must have a SMART GOAL. Even prayer, as you can read in the biography of J. P. II. Mr Johnson also wrote about this in the brilliant (as I thought 28 years ago and still) “History of the World”. According to Johnson, the master of SMART prayer was W. I. Lenin, who was an accountant. I have too. I make tables about facts and law. Every Junior Lawyer who worked with me hated it. I will probably ate: )
