Manage episode 480011905 series 2648641
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill takes on some of the toughest challenges law firm owners face today — hiring with confidence, retaining great talent, and knowing when to invest in people versus when to walk away.
From evaluating high-salary candidates to navigating internal disagreements over ambitious hires, this episode offers real-world guidance for leaders who want to build teams that last.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How to evaluate whether you're paying for potential or proven performance
Why a candidate asking about growth isn’t a red flag — it’s a sign of ambition
How to create a culture of development that retains your best people
If you’ve ever struggled with whether to bet on potential or proven experience — or feared the long-term cost of developing talent that might leave — this conversation is for you.
