Learn successful strategies and tips for building a positive, productive workplace by knowing what to focus on to move these interactions forward, how to effectively respond and ways to manage the impact of their behavior. Identify challenges associated with managing difficult employees, control your own feelings effectively and create a positive work environment so that you can end frustration, and act rather than react, to ensure a respectful, effective and collaborate team.

    Law firms have amassed talent and capabilities in an effort to advance client value and firm revenues. Now, firms want synergies and a greater return by seeing existing and new talent collaborate effectively across silos. When multiple professionals with a deep expertise and diverse talents work together to solve more critical problems for a client or firm — what is called “Smarter Collaboration,” as coined by Heidi K. Gardner, PhD, — firms earn higher revenues and employee engagement. Yet every firm faces obstacles to collaboration that aren’t always obvious. In fact, firms frequently jump directly to disparate initiatives without really identifying a problem. Learn more about the principles of Smarter Collaboration and the frequently seen barriers, helping leaders at all levels and departments obtain a clear-eyed view of your firm’s readiness to implement a collaboration-related strategy and identify how and where to spend their energy to foster smarter collaboration.
