Prepared a document last week for a junior partner. I was absolutely confident that doc was going to the client. He made textual, rather than substantive changes and I hate that because I know, at the risk of being immodest, that my drafting/writing skills are tested over time to be at par with the best of the best. We sent the revised document to the senior partner who was copied in the email dispatching the initial draft I sent to the junior partner. He noted that he had taken a moment to go through the initial draft and was fine, no need to for him to review a revised draft. The question for the team was: go with the initial draft or use the revised draft from the junior partner? I noted that I was fine with either draft and wouldn’t mind revising once more if the Junior partner preferred. He eventually asked me to send my draft. I smiled hard because I was absolutely sure that document did not need to be reviewed. I’ve grown out of my “toot-your-horn” phase but I remember, from time to time, the value that had. The younger version of me would have added to his email: I think the initial draft is good to go but the irony of growth is that you learn to create even the smallest spaces for additional learning. However sure I was, there was something I could have missed, a better word that could have been employed. You never know. I’m at a level at work where very senior partners have expressed complete confidence in my abilities; all that has done for me is make me humbler, more open to corrections, even—and especially—when I believe I’m right. Growth is my favorite mess.
