Gentle Leadership with Enrique Dubon-Roberts

Host: Carrie Tuttle
Guest: Enrique Dubon-Roberts

What do family law and time accounting have to do with leadership? Enrique Dubon-Roberts, partner at BDL family law shares his take on leading law professionals with a gentle approach. As an award-winning lawyer, mediator and former high school teacher, he has a lot of experience reading the room and connecting with his team.

Enrique’s journey from a classroom to founding partner was anything but linear, and he explains how letting his “teacher heart” guide his leadership style leads to both team cohesion and client care. His firm is nothing like the popular legal drama “Suits”. They work to be proactive in client work, so that late nights aren’t the norm.

He and his partner make intentional choices in their physical space, services they offer and how they choose who they work with to ensure alignment throughout. We talked about the differences between individual contributor vs. the mindshare of ownership and leading a team.

Enrique is candid about his time and priorities and having his family’s support after moving from El Salvador.

Listen in to hear where he gets his inspiration!
