Check out the 30-minute podcast we presented with Elise Holtzman, Founder of The Lawyer’s Edge. Our topic was “Essential Characteristics of Effective Law Firm Leaders,” and we discussed these and other attributes of effective law firm leaders: 

  • Credibility to Lead – Trust, honest, firm-first, earned
  • Firm-First Mindset – Genuine, authentic
  • Positive Attitude – Optimistic, inspiring, forward-thinking
  • Change Agent – Researched, strategic, taking advantage of COVID 
  • Communication Skills – Multi-modal, variety, consistent, MBWA
  • Leadership by Example – Do what you say. Say what you do.
  • Firm’s Culture Keeper – Tough decisions about underperformance and bad behavior
  • Desire to Lead – The right leaders for the right reasons

We cover these and many more topics about things they do not teach you in law school about leading lawyers. 
 
Elise is a new member of the MPF Faculty, and you will meet her at The MPF Leadership Conference in Atlanta.
