Tip of the month: Listen

Many lawyers are better at talking than at listening.  But experts say that when you develop new business you should listen 50% to 80% of the time.  And the most effective project managers are also experts at listening to clients and to team members.  As former CNN celebrity Larry King put it:  “I never learned a thing when I was talking.”

The first Wednesday of every month is devoted to a very short and simple tip like this to help lawyers increase efficiency, provide greater value to their clients and/or develop new business.
