4 Tips to Paralegals from Beverly Salhanick
I agree wholeheartedly with the paralegals comments on communication. We try (but it doesn't always happen) to have a 5 minute meeting every morning to find out what's on everyone's plate & what are the goals for the day. That way my staff can tell me that they don't want to be bothered, and I won't bug them. The top 4 things that I want my staff to do:
1. Tell me if there is a problem. Don't hide them, they grow in the dark. Let's fix it. As my right hand once told me, if no one dies, its just a problem and it can be solved.
2. Always tell the truth. Clients do not like to be lied to. Neither do I. Neither do you.
3. Do your best. You don’t have to be perfect.
4. The office is not your life. Live your life. (This often gets thrown back in my face.)
