Continuing our messages for leadership from James Kerr’s book, LEGACY,

“FOCUS ON GETTING THE CULTURE RIGHT; THE RESULTS WILL FOLLOW.”

All too often, law firms are managed by consensus or collegiality, both of which inhibit strong decision making. By demonstrating that leaders listens before making decisions, they need to learn when there is enough information and input to make the decision. And once made, it needs to be clearly communicated and accountability designated for its implementation. Remember, taking too long making a decision is, in itself, making a decision; or worse, just letting it happen.
