The latest episode of the legal podcast series Empowering Law Firm Leaders explores how law firms can build high performance teams, with Tina Wisener, UK employment lawyer and CEO of Doyle Clayton.
Alongside host Amy Bruce, Marketing Director at Osprey Approach Legal Software, Tina shares her journey from the British Army to the helm of a prominent law firm, with invaluable insights into fostering a culture of trust and collaboration.
Episode 17 of the Empowering Law Firm Leaders podcast covers:
- Lessons learnt from a law firm CEO
- How to measure success effectively
- Secrets to building a high-performing team
- The impact of having an employee-owned trust
- Advice for aspiring law firm leaders
Tina shares the ways in which success can be measured beyond financial metrics, including employee retention and engagement, as well as the six essential ingredients firms need to build high performing teams.
She also highlights the importance of recognising employees’ contributions and providing opportunities for growth and development, saying:
“Employees don’t really care about free pizza on a Friday and fancy offices. They want recognition, empowerment, flexibility, great leadership, work-life balance, and to be heard.”
Tina also shares her advice for aspiring law firm leaders, including the need to be self-aware:
“It’s important to be aware of your strengths and your weaknesses… Being self-aware and curious helps you continue to learn and grow as a leader.
“You need to be confident, but not overly confident. You need to be resilient; recognise that not everything’s going to be brilliant all the time.”
