Doing Deals and Leading Teams at XAF Partners
By: Boris Groysberg, Sarah L. Abbott and Robin Abrahams
Abstract
Private equity firm XAF Partners had grown steadily over the last decade, establishing offices across Asia. At the end of their day-long partners' retreat, several firm partners discuss the challenges they face as "producing managers." These include collaboration and delegation; compensation; development; giving feedback; and time-pressure. This teaching note explores each of these challenges in turn.
