117. The Bomb on the Bus: A Law Firm Productivity Problem with Clarke Ching

from The Agile Attorney Podcast

What do you do when productivity starts to slip in your law firm? For many leaders, the instinct is to push harder by setting targets, issuing ultimatums, or applying pressure. But those approaches are actually causing more damage than they solve. In this episode, I talk with Clarke Ching, also known as The Bottleneck Guy, about a better way to think about productivity through the lens of bottlenecks and system design. We explore his “bomb on the bus” metaphor and discuss how to identify constraints, manage them intentionally, and build a practice that moves work forward in a more stable and sustainable way.
