488. AMMA — Controversial Leadership Opinions That Will Make Your Firm Better

Some of the most useful things a leader will ever hear are the ones nobody says to their face.

This greatest-hits AMMA episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast pulls together six of the questions firm owners struggle with most, and Michael and Jessica Mogill answer each one with the candidness that comes from experience. The underperformer you keep protecting. The high-stakes call you can't seem to make. The endless learning that never turns into action. The anger that built your firm and now runs it into the ground. These are the takes most leaders only wish someone would tell them.

Here's what you'll learn:

Why the hardest conversation on your calendar only gets more expensive the longer you delay it

How to make a high-stakes call with 70% of the information instead of waiting for certainty that never comes

What it takes to trade spite-driven hustle for a vision that actually lasts

The advice most leaders need isn't complicated. It's just hard to hear.
