WELLBEING / ACCOUNTABILITY / LEADERSHIP / PERFORMANCE

Most lawyers say they want more accountability and ownership from their teams, and from themselves.

Yet, too often they rely on pressure, perfectionism, and micromanagement to drive results. This power paradox is that these control-focused strategies actually reduce team ownership, dampen performance, and erode trust.

High-pressure tactics may yield short-term compliance, but they undermine the genuine accountability and engagement that come from a motivated, empowered team.

In this session, Libby Clarke, Esq. and Dr. Kerry O’Hara, reveal why real accountability emerges only when leaders let go of fear-based control.

They will discuss how to create the conditions for autonomy, clarity, and shared responsibility – the key ingredients for teams to take true ownership of their work. By shifting from managing through fear to leading with trust and clarity, leaders can foster a healthier, more resilient work environment where accountability thrives without burnout or resentment.

Participants will walk away with a simple, practical framework to improve follow-through, communication, and team performance without resorting to relentless oversight or micromanagement.

You’ll learn how letting go of excessive control can actually increase accountability and performance. By the end of the webinar, you’ll have concrete strategies to encourage initiative and responsibility in your team while maintaining well-being and avoiding the pitfalls of over-control.

This mindset shift not only boosts productivity and morale, but also helps prevent burnout for everyone involved.

Join us online February 4th, to transform how you approach accountability in your practice. Whether you’re a law firm leader, a team manager, or an individual contributor, this session will provide valuable insights to help you  empower your team, enhance performance, and let go of the stress of constant control.

Prepare to challenge old assumptions and embrace a more effective, trust-based approach to leadership and accountability!
