Management gurus at Baker & McKenzie have recently hit upon a brand new motivational tool to help their partners brush up on their client relationship skills. The firm has introduced the legal equivalent of Supernanny's famed naughty step, in the shape of a giant Perspex box emblazoned with what appears to be a giant target, presumably to encourage passing lawyers to pelt the unfortunate captive with rotten veg. Bakers managing partner Gary Senior definitely didn't say: "After a three-month consultation we decided that this was the most efficient way to ensure billable hours targets were hit. It reminds me of prep school." In reality, those caring types at Bakers were actually raising money for Richard House Children's Hospice by sitting in a box phoning up clients for donations - and in just two hours, the Boss in a Box initiative racked up an impressive total of £14,000.
