In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Marcia Wasserman discuss:

Challenges law firms are facing today that they’ve never had to before.
Managing generational differences to the benefit of both parties.
Where to start when everything seems to be going sideways.
The benefit of a peer advisory group.

Key Takeaways:

Managing expectations for both the law firm managers and the younger lawyers is key to making sure everything is being accomplished at the right profitability.
Clients are also getting younger, not just new attorneys. Understanding how the younger generations think can be crucial for your law firm success.
It doesn’t take a certain personality to be a leader - it takes listening skills, vulnerability, and transparency to your vision.
If you delegate more, you will be more effective in what you are best at.

"It's getting the lawyers who manage the firms to understand that things have changed and they are not able to do it the way they've always done it." — Marcia Wasserman
