Justie Nicol: Building a Culture of Trust and Respect Across Generations
In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Justie Nicol discuss:
Leading and selling without fear.
Building your law firm to support you and your life.
Systematizing your training processes and procedures.
Running a virtual firm to invest in people over premises.
Key Takeaways:
There are no bad people, only bad decisions. As a lawyer, your job is to make sure that that bad decision doesn’t wreck the person’s life.
Be the best you can be with the years you have with the amazing people you have. Sometimes things change and people move on and that’s okay.
Self-care is extremely important for both you, as the leader, and for your team. Finding a way to be flexible and support your team in what they find most important can be culture-defining and still lead to a successful law firm.
Check-ins don’t have to be scheduled and formalized. You can have informal meetings to make sure everyone is doing good and all on the same page.
