The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

Show Notes

If your team keeps bringing you problems instead of solutions, the pattern started with you, not them.

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle three listener questions that all trace back to the same root problem: staying stuck in reactive mode. From training a team to solve its own problems to enforcing adherence to a process everyone claims to support, this episode unpacks why solving fires as they come keeps a firm from ever building the systems that prevent them.

Here's what you'll learn:

Why solving every problem for your team keeps them from solving any problem on their own

How one four-word question shifts a team from asking to thinking

What it actually takes to enforce adherence to a process your team already has

Your team's problem-solving muscle only grows if you stop doing the lifting for them.

(00:00:00) Introduction (00:05:39) Why your team hands you problems (00:06:32) The four-word question that fixes it (00:10:10) The intake leak that keeps returning (00:13:51) Firefighter ego vs. proactive leadership (00:15:44) Lay the groundwork now
