The Four Types of Attorneys Inside of Law Firms: Are You a Finder, Minder, Binder or Grinder?

Описание: [00:00:00] Today's webinar's about the four different types of attorneys inside law firms. And, this is a traditional thing that, you know, in terms of how people have judged different types of attorneys and the type of people that they're likely to be inside of law firms. But one of the more important components that I just wanted to bring up about this before we get started, is that in every profession there are things that you should be doing and things that you shouldn't be doing and what that means essentially. That, you're going to be good at doing certain things and not good at doing others. And so one example that I like to give is if you took a, like a famous rapper or and said that person should instead be a dentist or a mathematician like that doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense. People should be doing always, should be doing jobs that, that really gravitate towards their skills. And so inside of law firms, there's typically going to be different types of skills that [00:01:00] you may have the, you may be good at. And every employer really can always accommodate those different types of skills and things that you might be good at. So it's very important, no matter what you're doing to be doing the right thing. And so that's what we're going to be talking about today. I've had a lot of interest in this topic for quite a while. There's we've also made live on BCG and if you're if you use BCG or LA cross sooner in your rest sites, you may have gotten notifications about it. But we started using what is called disc profiles and sending those to candidates and allowing them to fill them out.

And then giving you reports about your different personality types. And what's important to understand about different personalities is just that you need to do and gravitate towards the work that matches what you are, the type of person you are. And the more you do that, the better off you're going to be typical because you're. Yeah, everyone is born with natural skills and interests, and talents. And so gravitating towards those things [00:02:00] is really one of the smartest things you can do. And so that's what we'll talk about today. And this presentation is too long, but after this presentation then I'll, of course, I'll also take live questions about anything.
Do you guys want to talk about related to this or anything else? Pretty much when I talked to attorneys all day they always will tell me the type of attorney they are. So, partner, no business will always they always say things like there, aren't a lot of committees for associates and in charge of associate satisfaction. And I've always said I do well-helping associates and partners relate to one another and this sort of person is what's called a binder. A binder is someone very good at making sure the firm and various people inside of it, like paralegals, associates, partners, and stuff get along cohesively.
