Come along on this daily journey with Chicago attorney Dave Scriven-Young to discover key principles in the areas of marketing, sales, and leadership.   This episode discusses a plan of action for dealing with how the Coronavirus has affected mindset and law practices.  The first step is getting to acceptance, and we can do this by (1) looking at the opportunities around us, (2) doing an inventory of our assets, (3) asking for help--family, friends, employer, Lawyers Assistance Program, licensed therapist, and (4) remembering that we are not alone (even if you are alone in your space).

Chicago attorney Dave Scriven-Young on leadership:  The third step for attorneys to become growth-oriented persons is to make failure your friend.  We must understand that a high percentage of potential clients have no interest in working with us.  We must take enough action to get in front of the people who are interested in working with us.  But failure can prevent us from taking action if we let it.  As John Maxwell says in his book, Leadershift, we can make failure our friend by: learning from every failure, realizing that we must be willing to do something afraid because eventually we will become qualified to do it, and understanding that action reduces fear and increases courage.  In the words of John Maxwell: "I would rather try something bigger than my capabilities with high odds of failure than attempt something smaller that I know I could achieve."

Chicago attorney Dave Scriven-Young on leadership:  The second step for attorneys to become a growth-oriented person is to adopt a teachable spirit.  This is important so we can learn from our experiences and projects that we do as attorneys.  As John Maxwell says in his book, Leadershift, we can adopt a teachable spirit by making growth our number-one priority, looking for growth possibilities in every situation, asking questions that will help us grow, filing what we have learned, and passing what we have learned on to others.

Chicago attorney Dave Scriven-Young on leadership:  The first step for attorneys to become a growth-oriented person is to embrace change.  As John Maxwell says in his book, Leadershift, "growth means change".  We must accept that change will happen.  We must also take action to change when we want to grow in some area of our life.

Chicago attorney Dave Scriven-Young on leadership:  Attorneys must realize that there is no finish line when it comes to leadership.  As John Maxwell says in his book, Leadershift, successful leaders seek to make progress everyday to grow themselves, their colleagues, and their clients.  We must create a "growth-oriented culture" that "values development, focuses on stretching, honors serving, emphasizes the student, and where the target is growth."

Chicago attorney Dave Scriven-Young on leadership:  As leaders, attorneys should try to grow in a few vital areas rather than trying to grow in all areas.  As John Maxwell says in his book, Leadershift, successful people share these REAL traits: (1) relationships, (2) equipping the next generation, (3) attitude, and (4) leadership.

 Chicago attorney Dave Scriven-Young on leadership:  As leaders, attorneys must decide that they want to grow inward as opposed to growing outward.  As John Maxwell says in his book, Leadershift, when we grow outward, we are usually motivated by someone else who expects something from you.  Or, you're trying to reach some external goal.  But when you are growing inward, we have inward motivation.  This is better because "growth on the inside fuels growth on the outside, not the other way around."
