5 ways leaders and clients can support their lawyers — and improve how work gets done:
- Be clear on priorities
Not everything is urgent — clarity helps teams focus on what matters most. - Align on timelines early
Realistic timelines improve quality and reduce avoidable rework. - Support team-based engagement
Reduce reliance on a single individual; enable continuity and resilience. - Make space for protected time
Respecting leave and downtime supports sustained performance. - Use urgency intentionally
Clear signalling of what is truly time-sensitive leads to better outcomes.
If this resonates, we would welcome your support in shaping the Mindful Business Movement as a community of practice — whether by adopting these approaches in how you work with external counsel, or by joining MBM as a supporting partner. If helpful, we would be glad to share more (please contact us at [email protected])
