Lawyers as Leaders
Synopsis
Lawyers frequently hold powerful leadership positions, yet the profession often fails to equip them with essential leadership skills, leading to public distrust. This book explores why lawyers are chosen to lead and why many are unprepared for the role. Drawing on extensive research, it offers attorneys an invaluable guide to developing crucial leadership qualities, from decision-making and conflict management to ethics and diversity. It highlights the need for 'soft skills' like emotional intelligence to complement traditional legal strengths.
