Are you looking to create a more cohesive and successful law firm? Ron Payne's presentation at MaxLawCon 2022 sheds light on the importance of core values in guiding the direction of a law firm and creating a positive work environment.
Ron emphasizes that core values should be more than just words on a wall, but should be integrated into the hiring process and daily operations of the firm. He shares his own core values, which include honesty, respect, family first, teamwork, and lifelong learning. These values guide his hiring decisions and help him create a positive work environment.
Ron also discusses how he uses core values in his job ads to attract candidates who align with his values. This has resulted in more qualified candidates and better hires for his firm. He also advises being selective with clients, only working with those who align with the firm's values and prioritize their family and children.
Ron reminds listeners that core values are an ongoing process of learning, innovating, and striving to be better. By incorporating core values into a law firm's culture and operations, it can attract the right people to the team and create a more cohesive and successful firm.
So, what are your core values? Consider identifying your "why" and defining the qualities and values you admire in your team, colleagues, and clients.
