The Way of the True Leader Ft. Bill Reeb

We sit down with Bill Reeb, co-founder of Succession Institute and former AICPA Chair, for a conversation that challenges some of the most common assumptions in professional services. Bill makes a bold case that the so-called talent pipeline crisis is largely a myth — the real issues are firms refusing to go global, failing to push work down to lower levels, and holding on to bad clients. The discussion dives deep into why work-life balance problems are almost always self-inflicted, how over-billing partners are unknowingly destroying the value of their own firms, and what the rise of private equity really means for the future of small and mid-sized accounting firms. Bill also shares his unique perspective on conflict as a catalyst for growth, the importance of letting people make mistakes as a leadership development tool, and why the best advisors focus on asking the right questions rather than having all the answers.Download our FREE EBOOK: https://ebooktowne.com/Listen on Apple Podcast, Spotify and Amazon Music: LET'S CONNECT!Ben Towne LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-towne-advisory/Web Pages: https://towneadvisory.com/ || [https://assurentadvisors.com/](https://assurentadvisors.com/knowledge-center/)[GUEST NAME]LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billreeb/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SuccessionInstituteBill's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bill.reeb.98X: https://x.com/billreebBill's X: https://x.com/successioninst1
