Realizing that the core competencies of law firm leadership are best understood by observing how leaders actually behave, think, and make decisions, authors Susan G. Manch and Michelle C. Nash interviewed 31 highly effective leaders, including emerging, current, and succeeding leaders from firms of all sizes and types. The resulting book highlights how the changing law firm environment is influencing demands on and expectations of current and future leaders and what that means for law firms striving to thrive. The book also stresses the imminent leadership deficit firms face as the baby boomer generation approaches retirement and offers practical solutions for preparing the next generation of leaders to meet the challenges of changing markets and client demands. PD professionals will especially appreciate the chapter outlining specific suggestions for a model leadership development program, as well as the numerous examples throughout the book of the competencies required of leaders. Recruiters, talent managers, and those involved in law student professional development will also find this book's insights into leadership helpful, and stories of real-world law firm leaders in action provide concrete examples to use as the basis of discussions of leadership. There is also a chapter addressing leadership and diversity.
