Un-Billable Hour: Business Management Strategies for the Busy Lawyer Around the Community Table

Community Table: Setting Real Goals (And Taking Some Time For Yourself)

Listen Later

In this episode’s discussions around the Community Table:

  • There’s a time to take stock and reset. Understanding what you value and your internal motivations will help you guide your law firm’s growth. Think about what gets you out of bed and into the office each day. For most, it’s more than money. Know the difference between growing and truly building. Purpose and intentional goals matter more than billing.
  • It’s the holiday season, and who doesn’t want to take off work for an extended period to be with friends and family. But for law firm owners and leaders, the question is how? Set the pieces in place that will allow you to turn over the business to employees, such as an established chain of command and communication expectations. Try a test period to see how things go when others have to step up and run the office.
  • And finally, let’s talk about recognizing and coming to grips with “red flags” from a job candidate. Sometimes … you just know.
