6 Lawyer Leadership Paradoxes That I Painfully Learned

So much about leading a law firm is paradoxical. On their face, the concepts don't seem to make much sense.

Yet they often make the difference between success and failure in a family law firm.

These are my favorite law leadership incongruities I have learned through the pain of failure.
1 - Unless the decision can kill you, make it fast
2 - Leadership vulnerability is a show of strength
3 - The law firm leader is the CFO - Chief Focus Officer
4 - In hiring, if you're not repelling most candidates, you’re not attracting the right ones
5 - The law firm leader is also the CMO - Chief Monotony Officer
6 - Self-awareness is a Super Power
