Burgers Rule is a restaurant, operated in partnership. The client, one of the owners, was looking for a career change. He wanted to utilise his skills and experience in finance and strategy, which his employment did not offer. Michael’s first task was to establish what the client truly wanted to do and why. He then encouraged the client to realise that his current position was close to what he wanted to be doing. In fact, he needed to realise that it was his partners who wanted to leave more than himself. Within two months, the client was able to offer his colleagues a buyout solution that would leave him in charge.
