<b><I>Leadership:</I></b> How Do You Measure Up?

By Silvia L. Coulter
July 01, 2017

There is nothing more rewarding as a leader in a business environment than helping a business or a team reach its goals. This relies solely on the people in the organization and its leadership. In our work with law firms, the one issue mentioned most often is leadership. Whether it's poor leaders, leaders with no vision, leaders who micro-manage or leaders who are downright dysfunctional, somewhere in the firm there is an opportunity to help a leader or a group of leaders to become more effective.

Harvard's Ronald Heifetz once wrote, “Being a leader is easy when things are going well.” His book, Leadership without Easy Answers, is a great read and not just consultant speak. He writes, “Leadership is the process of adaptive work, elevating followers by discussing and aligning value systems to face reality. Leadership is putting the finger on the real challenges that threaten our survival and changing the mindset of the followers.”
