Lawyer leadership skills. We all know they are important. But can they be taught? The answer is yes…if lawyers want to learn! In her article, Yuliya defines leadership:
“The core purpose of leadership is to mobilize people (in a department, practice group, firm, company, community) around common goals to achieve concrete outcomes at scale.”
And then outlines five pillars of law firm leadership as follows:
- Leader Identity
- Leadership Impact
- Strategic Thinking
- People Management
- Personal Productivity and Peak Performance
Helping your lawyers become better leaders just makes sense – from a talent engagement perspective and a business perspective. The sooner you begin investing in people, the sooner you will see them (and your firm) thrive.
