Don't Abandon Ship - a podcast by Allison C Williams, Esq.

Do you have problems maintaining a positive culture in a rapidly growing company? Unfortunately, there can be a lot of dysfunction in a business that expands quickly, especially in situations where the owner is not physically present with the team.

In this week's episode of the Law Firm Mentor Podcast, I want to give you some positive cultural idioms that you can use to structure your business. Allowing you to work from anywhere at any time and still give your employees their lane.

It's an incredible thing to embolden and empower your team, and by the end of this episode, you'll see how you can even have them performing above and beyond their expectations. Let's eliminate these problems before you feel the need to abandon ship.


In this episode we discuss:

• Creating a positive law firm culture.
• The importance of including respect and a lack of abdication in the anatomy of your team.
• Making sure all your employees meet the Attitude, Aptitude, and Fit criteria of your company.
• Having a person who filters the incoming information.
• Cultural problems deriving from not having adequate supportive communication.

And if you want to be away from your office, whether it's not working or working, you have to create an environment where you as the leader, if you're still going to own the entity and be anything more than a silent shareholder, you as the leader have to be intentional about leadership. So that means while you are off somewhere, you need to have someone on somewhere in your business, and if you're not going to have someone on somewhere, you have to be strategic about placing yourself in different places in order to make sure that your presence is felt.
