Why are collaboration and leadership challenging in the legal field?
In this episode, Heidrick and Struggles’ New York office partner, Victoria Reese, interviews Dr. Larry Richard, founder of LawyerBrain, a management consulting firm exclusively serving the legal profession.
With an impressive background in psychology and a deep understanding of the legal profession–having spent decades researching lawyers’ unique personalities– Dr. Richard sheds light on why lawyers’ inherent high skepticism and autonomy can sometimes hinder their ability to effectively lead and work in teams.
We also explore the strategies for overcoming these challenges, as well as practical advice for lawyers looking to improve their leadership skills and create more meaningful connections with their teams.
