Episode 414 — The 3 Leadership Archetypes Destroying Law Firms
What if your firm’s biggest threat isn’t poor strategy or weak talent — but misaligned leadership?

Show Notes:
A crack in leadership is never contained. “A crack at the leadership level is a canyon to the rest of the team.”
High performers don’t automatically make great leaders. “Promoting high performers does not necessarily equal great leadership. It doesn’t guarantee that.”
True leadership starts when it stops being about you. “It’s not about my success anymore. It’s about the success of the team and every person on it.”
Fear-based management destroys growth. “When people are scared of their leader, they stop taking risks, they stop speaking up, and the entire company slows down.”
The best leaders are the most self-aware. “Sometimes the leader who needs the most alignment is the one looking back at you in the mirror.”
