this may seem mysterious, but when it comes to ensuring job satisfaction and retaining staff, firm leaders should pay closer attention to middle management/mid-career staff and their connection to employees and the work itself, according to a survey conducted by tri-merit group co-founder randy crabtree, hb publishing & marketing company founder hank berkowitz, and myself at accountants forward.

“everything about putting your people first leads to increasing the satisfaction of those who work in the profession,” says crabtree. “things like firms having your back, supporting their growth or getting to know who the people you work with are matters greatly.” he added, “when you have a good variety of work to do and find you enjoy that work, you won’t mind working the extra hours at times either.”

it’s professional responsibility to inform a client when a request is out of scope. in this instance, you have two options: either make it a separate engagement or include it in the existing service package. it’s important to have everyone on the same page about what is within scope and what falls outside of it.

it would be best if you always built into your pricing agreements a 20 percent buffer to protect you against pricing mistakes. this doesn’t mean you should do work outside the scope for free, but if a client asks for a service not included, you could decide to let it go if the amount is immaterial.
however, if the value is greater or you need to investigate further, be clear with your team and the client.
leadership beyond control means empowering others to succeed and, of course, eating last.
