Most firms have long since realized they need effective leadership not only at the top of the firm but also spread throughout it, leading practice groups, offices, client or industry groups, and important committees. But many lawyers are reluctant leaders, and even those who are willing to lead sometimes lack the right skills. Join this webinar to hear how you can help your firm develop the leaders they will need to remain successful in a challenging environment. We'll review the most effective means of developing these skills, which include not only traditional forms of training opportunities but also "learning-by-doing" approaches and senior-level coaching and sponsorship. Gain the practical advice you need to implement these methods and design effective leadership development programs in your firm.
Objectives:
- Identify how leadership qualities for lawyers may differ from leadership qualities for senior officers
- Determine what aspects of leadership can be taught, and how to teach them
- Develop a pipeline of potential leaders and manage succession successfully
- Align organizational structure, incentives and feedback with the firm’s goals for developing leaders
