Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a lawyer who is hoping to run their own firm in the future? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson Mutrux delves into the often overlooked realities of being a law firm owner. Running a law firm is not an easy task and it is not made clear in law school or in the early years of being a lawyer. One of the realities is making and abiding by the boundaries of being a boss. In general, you should not be friends with your employees to avoid heartbreak and not making good decisions because of feelings. Another reality is to know how to lead people. It is one thing to start a law firm and be the boss. It is another thing to actually lead a team effectively and be successful. Leading a team also involves hiring the right people to take control of certain aspects of a firm. This comes in handy when you want to take some time off. You need to be a good leader who builds staff up to take on important roles when you need it most.Take a listen!1:03 Importance of maintaining professionalism and boundaries with employees 3:08 Need for effective leadership to create a desirable workplace5:13 Encouragement to keep processes simple 6:22 The isolating nature of being a law firm owner 8:08 The need for continuous learning and personal growth as a law firm leaderTune in to today’s episode and checkout the full show notes here.
