Last week, I wrote about self-awareness as an essential trait of effective leadership.  And I’m guessing that some folks may be thinking, “That’s nice, but what does this have to do with my law practice?”  The answer is quite a bit.  In fact, self-awareness is a key component of the skill set that is most determinative of long-term business success, according to research conducted by the Stanford Research Institute International and Carnegie Mellon Foundation with Fortune 500 CEOs from around the world. The Stanford study found that 75 percent of long-term success in business depends upon leadership (people) skills.

Regardless of whether you’re a sole practitioner or part of a large firm, you are a leader.  Regardless of whether you’re working with one paralegal or a team of associates, you are a leader. You may not think of yourself as a leader, but each day when you walk into your office, you are influencing those around you.  You are leading people every day – whether you realize it or not.  So, what’s the key to leadership?  Step one in the process: Self-awareness.   

We are thrilled to share with everyone an exciting project that one of our team members is taking on called LawWithoutWalls.

We are proud to announce that Affinity has once again been named to Software Technology, Inc's "President's Circle" for 2012.
