6 Lawyer Leadership Paradoxes That I Painfully Learned - #37
Manage episode 405212637 series 3485053
So much about leading a law firm is paradoxical. On their face, the concepts don't seem to make much sense.
Yet they often make the difference between success and failure.
These are my favorite law leadership incongruities I have learned through the pain of failure.
1 - Unless the decision can kill you, make it fast
2 - Leadership vulnerability is a show of strength
3 - The law firm leader is the CFO - Chief Focus Officer
4 - In hiring, if you're not repelling most candidates, you’re not attracting the right ones
5 - The law firm leader is also the CMO - Chief Monotony Officer
6 - Self-awareness is a Super Power

I’m here to share my law firm’s secrets, tactics, and strategies of how we have grown from 0 to 25 attorneys and over $15m in revenue in our first nine years.
Yes! It’s true--even if you compete directly with us. I want to tell you the gritty truth on what worked, what failed, and where we are aiming next.
Here’s why.
My teammates and I envision transforming how family law clients are served.
And we can’t transform the practice of law all by ourselves. We need more lawyers growing their practice, kicking butt / taking names, and winning along with us.
So, follow me and ring that bell up top to get all my latest disclosures.
