I left law school confident in the knowledge I was equipped with the technical skills required to be the best lawyer I could be. What I didn’t know at the time was that you’re taught almost nothing about what makes an effective team, and how to create an environment in which your team can thrive. What is the magic formula that makes an elite team ‘click’? How do you get the best out of your colleagues?

In my experience, you learn the answer to those questions through trial and error, trusting your gut instincts, and most importantly, not being afraid of failure.
