Event Details

While education and on-the-job training can provide the functional skills required for lawyers to fulfill their core job responsibilities, the practical skills of leadership and collaboration in a law firm require purposeful development. As lawyers advanced in the careers, they must learn to effectively lead, collaborate with, and delegate to others. They also must effectively “manage up” to both their colleagues at the firm and the firm’s clients and other stakeholders.

This workshop session is designed to provide practical tools and tactics for being an effective team player and leader. In particular, this program will enable participants to:

• Develop a mindset that informs how they lead and collaborate with others
• Understand their personal strengths and abilities and create a leadership and communication approach unique to them
• Effectively communicate with team members and manage their expectations
