414. The 3 Leadership Archetypes Destroying Law Firms
What if your firm’s biggest threat isn’t poor strategy or weak talent — but misaligned leadership?
As part of the “Road to the Summit”, a special series ramping up to the 2025 Game Changers Summit this November 12–13, we’re revisiting some of the most powerful conversations ever featured at our events. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Jessica Mogill takes the stage at the 2024 Game Changers Summit to expose the hidden cost of poor leadership.
She breaks down why high performers don’t automatically make great leaders, how fear-based management destroys culture, and what it really takes to build alignment at every level. Through real stories from inside Crisp, Jessica reveals how small cracks at the top can ripple through an entire organization, and what leaders can do to stop it.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Why your strongest performers can become your weakest leaders without the right mindset and training
How to identify cracks in leadership before they fracture your entire team
What it takes to rebuild alignment, trust, and performance from the top down
Want to create lasting impact through leadership that lifts everyone around you? Start here.
