Taming High-Performing Nightmares: A Leadership Survival Guide

In this program, Scott Mason, Transformational Coach for Attorneys, teaches how to survive one of the most treacherous traps a new lawyer-leader might encounter: dealing with the toxic superstar.

While a high-performing individual may initially appear as an asset, their interpersonal or ethical issues can jeopardize not only the team but also the leader's own career.

This program provides a comprehensive framework to effectively manage such situations, which can be adapted to handle other complex legal leadership challenges. It also offers strategic and detailed, practical tips tailored to both novice and seasoned lawyer-leaders.

This program is an indispensable resource for aspiring law firm and legal unit leaders looking to minimize the risk of becoming unwitting accomplices to unethical behaviors, preemptively address legal and reputational risks that toxic superstars can present, and maintain the confidence and authority to guide their team to optimal performance and success.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the risks associated with tolerating toxic behaviors within a firm or other legal environment.

  • Identify and dispel common myths surrounding high-performance leadership, especially those that may lead attorneys to tolerate toxic superstars.

  • Gain a deeper understanding of the true nature of toxic leadership behaviors.

  • Connect core values and ethical grounding to leadership, re-establishing credibility lost via the toxic superstar.
