ENCORE: The Structure of Flexibility

If you’ve ever told your staff, “I trust you, just get the work done,” only to find yourself dealing with missed deadlines, weird tension, or team members side-eying each other, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. 

I’ve been there. I thought being flexible would make me AND my team happier. And it did… until it didn’t.

In this episode of Crushing Chaos With Law Firm Mentor, I share what it really takes to create a flexible work environment that actually works. 

I also discuss what went wrong in my own firm when we grew from a tight-knit team to a full-blown business and how I had to rethink what flexibility meant if I wanted to keep my team happy and my business thriving.

Listen now and learn:

• Why “just trust your people” doesn’t scale
• How structure actually gives you more freedom
• The three questions to ask before changing any workplace policy
• What to do when someone’s taking advantage of flexibility
• How clear expectations and KPIs can save your sanity

… and a lot more!

Well then, what are you waiting for?

Run, don’t walk, and listen to this episode now!
