?? Decision paralysis can cause incredible stress and frustration. The issue is taking up space in the minds of leaders. People are looking for leaders who solve problems. They get frustrated and can lose faith in the leadership if decisions linger. ?? A leader is constantly making decisions. Some are big and some are small, but most are not ‘bet the firm’s decisions. ? If you are questioning your decisions as a leader or your leadership in general, create clear, realistic goals and priorities and make decisions that support them. ? For Hard Decisions Answer these questions:? ? Does it support the vision and values of the firm??? ? Can we afford it? ?? ? Do we need it to improve profitability or culture? ? What happens if we don’t do it? If you have a team of leaders, take a vote if necessary and move on. Although I do remember working for a partner who was very clear when he said, “This is not a democracy”. Be careful who gets to vote. ?? Stop wasting time discussing, ??? pushing it to the next meeting, asking for a third opinion or talking to your peers and just decide. If you can’t decide, table the decision for a period. Get it out of your brain space and move on to the next issue.?? #decisionparalysis #10foolishthings #lawfirms #Losemoney #legaloperationsmanagement #legalmanagement

Choosing legal software is not for the faint of heart. It takes time and focus to have a chance at getting it right. Tip #2 Don't make assumptions about what you think it does. When you are in a software demo, you control the demo. Ask the sales rep to SHOW you how things are done. You can ask for multiple demos; you don’t have to settle for their canned demos.

It takes time and focus to have a chance to make the most of your software. ?? Tip #3 Train now and again in six months.?? ?? Whatever you do all the time will become familiar to you. In about six months, you will be completely familiar with the functions necessary for your job. You’ll probably start thinking, I wish the software did this or that. Maybe you can even search the help site. However, what you call the feature, may not be what the software company calls it. This is a good time to get another training on features you are not using. #dlccs #lawfirmmanagement #legalsoftware #softwareselection #trainnowtrainlater

What sets your firm apart from other firms? Do you practice in the same area as your colleagues? Do you have the same number of attorneys that your colleagues have? TIP #4 to Software Selection: Don't assume your colleagues' software is right for your law firm. Not all law firms are the same, there are similarities, but they are different. Even firms practicing the same type of law are different. Getting feedback about programs may be nice, but realize they have only had experience with what they use. DLC Consulting Services has worked with many firms of various sizes nationwide. We have seen what works for solo and small firms. #dlccs #lawfirmmanagement #legalsoftware #softwareselection #dontassume #rightsoftwareforyourfirm #softwarecomplexity Watch this short video for some basic guidelines. https://buff.ly/3VmVkal

Did you know SaaS software is often released before it is ready for prime time? Are you a beta tester for your software? Does your software company make a change when you bring them a problem? TIP#5 The longer software has been in the market, the more features and/or corrections will be made. No software is perfect. None allow every attorney to work exactly the way they want, but some get closer than others. Even if an attorney designed it, that doesn’t mean that attorney works the way every attorney does. As you know, selecting software is extremely important for law firms. Don’t decide what to purchase based on the salespeople or what your colleagues use. Do your own due diligence. #dlccs #lawfirmmanagement #legalsoftware #softwareselection #dontassume #rightsoftwareforyourfirm #softwarecomplexity #dlcconsultingservices #timetested https://buff.ly/3VmVkal
