496. AMMA — Permanent Solutions to Recurring Problems

If your team keeps bringing you problems instead of solutions, the pattern started with you, not them.

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle three listener questions that all trace back to the same root problem: staying stuck in reactive mode. From training a team to solve its own problems to enforcing adherence to a process everyone claims to support, this episode unpacks why solving fires as they come keeps a firm from ever building the systems that prevent them.
