Course description: 

Finding success as an attorney is a challenge for which few of us are prepared ahead of time.  Layering supervisory, managerial, and/or leadership responsibilities on top of your individual work and the need to develop new business can feel like an insurmountable challenge or one that requires sacrificing your time, energy, and attention.  Legal leaders at all levels want to provide their clients with the best service, to develop a thriving and sustainable practice, and to feel like they are moving their firms and legal organizations forward, not just keeping pace.  They are best able to do that when they have the confidence and the skills lead with influence, not just authority.  This presentation will discuss the importance of collaborative and compassionate leadership and will provide participants with practical skills they can put into practice right away to increase personal engagement with colleagues and associates and an understanding of why developing their leadership skills builds client trust and bolsters their reputation.

This presentation will leave participants with:

• An understanding of the importance of leadership to law firm management, attorney engagement and retention, and business development;
• Practical tools to improve a critical component of leadership; and
• A roadmap for developing more effective leadership practices.
