Unmasking the Impostor Syndrome
November 01, 2018
Many talented lawyers shortchange themselves and their law firms by failing to implement a strategic business development plan. Some claim that they don't have time to market while others lament that marketing doesn't work — for them. While these and a variety of other excuses are common, it may be productive to dig a little deeper to determine whether other factors are at play.
