494. AMMA — Navigating the Lows of Leadership

What if not wanting to be a leader is exactly what makes you a good one?

In this AMMA episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle three questions law firm owners keep sending in: why good employees walk out the door even after a raise, whether leadership can really be taught, and what to do when you catch yourself repeating the exact behavior you swore you'd never repeat. It's a candid conversation about what it actually takes to lead people, even when leading was never the plan.

Here's what you'll learn:

Why turnover in your firm rarely comes down to one cause

How to lead your team when management never came naturally

What it takes to stop repeating the leadership habits you swore you'd avoid

The best leaders never stop asking whether they could be better.
