Attorney Entrepreneurship with Jacqueline Newman | Recap with Joan Sebring

In this episode, Alay and Joan discuss:

• The importance of building a team.
• Determining if someone is going to be a good fit for your team.
• Understanding your company culture.
• Employee engagement and your law firm’s vision.

Key Takeaways:

• The team is the foundation of your business. If you don’t have the right people in the right roles, you will not be best serving your clients.
• Understanding your team deeply will allow you to hire for the gaps you have in your team.
• Part of building a culture is understanding how you are going to help your team continue to learn and grow, and how that fits in with the firm’s growth and vision.
• If you give your team the bandwidth to do the work, they will deliver for you (if you have the right team).
