Lawyers as Business Leaders?
Here is an interesting study. Posting this in no way should be construed as a criticism of my professional colleagues and clients (lest I'm criticizing myself).
A Hildebrandt Director who is a psychologist with a law degree has catalogued the personality traits common to lawyers:
"They include: skepticism; high cognitive thinking; urgency or impatience; autonomy; sensitivity or defensiveness; and a lack of sociability."
Adam Smith, Esq. posits a similar catalogue of traits common to successful business leaders:
Notice any differences between the two sets of traits? Which would you like to develop?Instinctive trust of others; intellectual smarts combined with "emotional intelligence;" decisiveness; collaborative by nature; welcoming of alternative viewpoints and sincerely open to constructive debate; and an inborn temperamental ability to get along with a wide variety of people.
