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).
