Michele Ross: Building Your Law Firm with Human Expertise and Great Systems

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Michele Ross discuss:

• Why patience and time are key to anything worthwhile.
• Avoiding repeated mistakes and moving forward with improvement.
• Business management tools to make your law firm more efficient.
• Building a great team that works toward the same vision.

Key Takeaways:

• You will have to find your way forward from the mistakes you make - and you will make mistakes. Don’t let them keep you down.
• It is a balancing act and, as a law firm owner, the key is removing hats with delegation and technology. You cannot do everything all the time.
• Understanding your values will help make hiring decisions easier because you know who you are looking for, even if you haven’t met them yet.
• Ask your employees what their goals are - not just within the office, but outside of the office as well.

"Be interested in what your employees can contribute beyond just work product. Make them a part of the movement and the vision, because they're the ones that can really open your eyes up." —  Michele Ross
