Often, the best lawyers are promoted to managers because of their technical skills or business development success. That doesn’t mean they’re prepared to lead people. We were trained to advise. Not to lead. And when the promotion comes, we’re often thrown into the deep end. Leadership becomes a trial by fire. But it doesn’t have to be.
