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).
