Brilliant Lawyers, Struggling Leaders - Podcast.
By Alec Pearson
I had the pleasure of joining Christopher Adams on his Muhami podcast to record 2 podcasts which explored a silent crisis facing many law firms: strong legal minds being promoted into leadership roles, often without the tools or support to lead effectively.
Over the 2 episodes we discussed:
The evolving demands on law firm partners.
Why Gen Z lawyers are stepping away from the traditional partnership track.
The real cost of weak leadership, for talent retention and client relationships.
How coaching and soft skills development can make a powerful difference.
Why law firm partners struggle to align on strategy.
The lingering stigma around coaching in legal environments.
The rise of AI and what it means for leadership and quality.
What Gen Z and young lawyers expect from today’s law firm culture.
