Here are 20 ways to develop attorneys’ leadership competencies, which will increase attorneys’ job satisfaction, and improve business outcomes.
Research on leadership indicates that 50 to 75 percent of organizations are currently managed by people lacking in leadership competence. [1] They are hired or promoted based on technical competence, business knowledge, and politics - not on leadership skill. Such managers often manage by crisis; are poor communicators; are insensitive to moral issues; are mistrustful, over-controlling and micro-managing; fail to follow through on commitments they’ve made; and are easily excitable and explosive. The result is low morale, alienated employees, and costly attrition. Since the best business outcomes are achieved by satisfied employees, the legal profession can only gain by an increasing focus on the development of attorneys’ leadership competencies. |

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

On the first day of her new position as Assistant Professor of Law at Santa Clara University School of Law, Beth Van Schaack had to tell the Dean that she was pregnant. "We're so excited," he responded. We haven't had a new baby here for a long time."
Although not every woman in the legal academy has received as thoroughly enthusiastic a response, it would be difficult to find a woman attorney in private practice with a similar story. |

Winter 2003
Susan Etheridge, J.D., founder and president of Professional Placement Services, Inc., looks back and realizes she need not have changed careers in order to “have a life.” In fact, she might still be working at the same law firm today, had she only imagined that a reduced-hours schedule was a possibility. Many dissatisfied lawyers are not aware of available options, and they assume that every legal job will be the same as the one they want to escape. Without realizing the range of possibilities - a different firm or work setting, a new practice area, or even a schedule change - they conclude that running away from practicing law is their only resort. |

Then indecision brings its own delays And days are lost lamenting o’er lost days. Are you in earnest: Seize this very minute, What you can do, or dream you can, begin it, Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
