Life Lessons for Lawyers (eBook, ePUB)

Guidance for the Mind and Soul

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book draws on the author's professional experience and published works in the areas of leadership, philosophy, psychology and management (amongst others) to discuss the 'softer' qualities of being a good lawyer - qualities which are not taught or widely documented, such as humility, confidence, personal relationships and our dreams and vision.

The book demonstrates that we can be individuals within the law and outlines qualities that can both enrich our work and our souls. A theme throughout many of the chapters is to encourage us to think and act differently to what we may have been taught, what others expect or what we ourselves believe. To know that regardless of our strengths and weaknesses, we are unique individuals in the law. This book offers wisdom and pragmatic support for lawyers and anyone involved with the law.

Covering a range of issues, it includes advice on:

• Maintaining one's passions inside and outside law
• Dealing with perfectionist tendencies, anxiety and depression
• Managing our fears and dealing with mistakes
• Striving for an honourable path
• Understanding and leveraging the organisational matrix
• Acting as a moral voice in your organisation
• Leading with humility and vulnerability
• Taking breaks and reconnecting with ourselves
• Navigating structural inequalities in one's career

This book is an easy must-read for anyone seeking advice on how to succeed in law.
