If you’ve ever told your staff, “I trust you, just get the work done,” only to find yourself dealing with missed deadlines, weird tension, or team members side-eying each other, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. 

I’ve been there. I thought being flexible would make me AND my team happier. And it did… until it didn’t.

In this episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor, I share what it really takes to create a flexible work environment that actually works. 

I also discuss what went wrong in my own firm when we grew from a tight-knit team to a full-blown business and how I had to rethink what flexibility meant if I wanted to keep my team happy and my business thriving.

Listen now and learn:

• Why “just trust your people” doesn’t scale
• How structure actually gives you more freedom
• The three questions to ask before changing any workplace policy
• What to do when someone’s taking advantage of flexibility
• How clear expectations and KPIs can save your sanity

… and a lot more!

Well then, what are you waiting for?

Run, don’t walk, and listen to this episode now!
