In this episode, Ann reflects on her experience as a paralegal manager and shares valuable lessons she wish she knew as a paralegal. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the business aspect of law, finding a work-life balance, mastering the art of delegation, knowing your numbers and key performance indicators, and recognizing that management is aware of underperformers.
Key Takeaways:
- Remember that while you may love your work, it's not your business. Find a balance between work and personal life and don't let work override your personal life.
- Work-life integration is a more realistic approach than work-life balance. With technology, you can work anytime, anywhere, but make sure to prioritize your personal life.
- Management knows who the underperformers are. Even if it seems like they're getting away with it, they are not rewarded like high-performing individuals. Others in the office notice their behavior too.
- Time entry is crucial. Make sure to prioritize entering your billable hours and other necessary data on time to avoid unnecessary issues and misunderstandings.
- Be proactive in seeking feedback from your superiors and seeking clarification on tasks. This helps ensure that you're meeting expectations and delivering work that aligns with their vision.
- Don't compare your workload or contributions to others. Focus on doing your best and continuously improving your skills and knowledge.
- Remember that success is a journey. Strive for continuous improvement, set goals for yourself, and adapt to new challenges and opportunities that come your way.
