Attorneys Are Managers

Attorneys are managers.

And yet, we receive so little (if any) training on how to manage.

Things I need (and want) to know (and learn):

✔ How to manage my time;

✔ How to manage my workload;

✔ How to manage partner expectations;

✔ How to manage (and delegate) to other attorneys and staff;

✔ How to manage clients; and

✔ How to manage business.

The list could go on and on.

To those who've been practicing a bit, how have you learned these skills (beyond learning by doing and trial by fire)?

Any resources you would recommend?

For all practitioners, what would it look like for your employer to support the development of these skills?
