As a lawyer, do you play to your strengths? How strong is your brand? These are two of the most important self-management questions a lawyer should ask. The answers may determine your success with your law practice.
Most lawyers know what they are not good at—rather than knowing their strengths—and focus on improving weaknesses. This will yield a low success return. Trust me: there will always be other lawyers better than you in an area where you are weak. Don’t waste too much time trying to improve a weakness—figure out, instead, how to manage around weaknesses. You have the best chance of success by focusing on your strengths.
