In this interview with our CFO Todd Clauer, we reveal the secret management tool that has been vital to building Sterling Lawyers' culture and accelerating communication across our entire 27-attorney, $16+ million family law firm. For the first time ever on this channel, we're sharing our complete daily management huddle system that connects teammates across Wisconsin, Illinois, and the Philippines every single morning.

Todd brings over 30 years of experience from medical to manufacturing industries, and as a CPA with expertise in financial planning and analysis, he's revolutionized how we manage our practice. Discover how this simple 10-30 minute daily meeting transformed our firm from reactive management to proactive leadership, creating accountability, transparency, and shared ownership across every department.

Learn the exact four-part agenda we use every morning and why this system has become so valuable that individual departments have started implementing their own huddles. See how this daily discipline solved our biggest operational challenges while building the collaborative culture that drives our continued growth and success.

Learn the five transformative benefits of implementing a daily management huddle system:

1 - Metrics-Driven Focus That Eliminates Overwhelm
Discover how we condensed hundreds of available metrics down to the 10-12 most critical indicators using a simple green-yellow-red system. Learn why focusing on yesterday's numbers, 5-day averages, and 28-day trends provides early warning indicators that prevent small problems from becoming major crises while celebrating successes across the firm.

2 - Revolutionary Consult Availability Tracking
See how dedicating specific huddle time to consult scheduling solved our biggest revenue challenge. Learn why reducing the time from initial contact to consultation from two weeks to under five days (often same-day) became our most important competitive advantage, and how this daily focus drives immediate revenue results.

3 - Real-Time Recruiting Pipeline Management
Understand how integrating recruiting updates into daily huddles transformed our hiring process. Watch how our HR leader, Robin, receives immediate feedback from interviewers, tracks resume flow, and adjusts recruiting strategies based on real-time input from managing partners and department heads across all regions.

4 - Instant Roadblock Resolution System
Learn how our daily roadblock segment enables functional leaders to immediately escalate issues they cannot solve independently. See examples of how seemingly small problems like copy machine failures can halt court preparation, and why addressing these issues within hours rather than days or weeks maintains operational excellence.

5 - Culture Building Through Shared Visibility and Recognition
Discover the power of Friday shout-outs and live Net Promoter Score readings that reinforce our values and celebrate successes. Learn how sharing client feedback and peer recognition across the entire firm builds empathy between departments, increases business acumen among attorneys, and creates shared ownership of firm success.

Whether you're managing a solo practice or leading multiple attorneys, this daily huddle system will revolutionize your firm's communication, accountability, and collaborative culture while driving measurable business results.
