Episode 231: Navigating Conflict in Law Firms: Finding the Right Seat

Hire and Empower with Molly McGrath

In this episode, Molly discusses the issue of conflict in law firms and the importance of addressing it in real-time. She challenges the notion that conflict is inherently negative and suggests that it only arises when conversations are avoided. She also raises the question of whether individuals are in the right role within their firms and encourages self-reflection to determine if a change is needed.

Key Takeaways:

• Conflict is not a bad word... When you're avoiding having the conversation, conflict arises.
• Law firm leaders should embrace conflict and have open and honest conversations with their team members.
• Individuals should assess whether they are in the right role within their firms and make changes if necessary.

Quote for the Show: "Conflict only occurs when you are sweeping things under the rug and not having the conversation in real-time." - Molly McGrath
