Abbey Kaplan Must Really Like Kenny Rogers!

That's the takeaway for me anyway from this very flattering profile of his firm's mentoring program:

Rainmaker defined: "It's knowing when to fold and when to hold. It's knowing when to be politically correct. It's knowing when to be charming. It's knowing how to ask the right questions."

 I totally agree that business development (and quality lawyering) is the only path for success at a firm like that -- and I like the idea of a budget for each associate with some metric by which you can measure the success of the marketing efforts over the course of a year.

What do you all think?
