Summary

How would you manage a team, a colleague or even your boss? Wouldn't know where to start? Don't worry you are not alone. One of the biggest gaps in our legal education is developing management and leadership skills. These critical skills are often overlooked for more technical legal skills.

In the second episode of our legal skills series we explore the importance of developing an effective management style from an early stage of your career. You will never know when you will be asked to take the reins and supervise a paralegal or induct a new starter.

So listen in and give yourself a management edge.

Act now! Make a difference!
It is never too early to develop your management skills, so what are you waiting for? You can't be a great manager without great communication skills. See if you can find a friend/colleague who will humour you and explain to them how to complete a novel task. Can you get them to complete the task as quickly and successfully as you can?
