The Effective Lawyer

Summary:
 In this episode of The Effective Lawyer Podcast, Jack Zinda breaks down one of the most overlooked drivers of law firm growth: letting go. Many attorney-CEOs stall out not because they lack skill or ambition, but because they can't stop doing the small stuff themselves. This episode walks through why letting go is so hard for founders, what it actually costs the firm when the CEO becomes the bottleneck, and how to delegate in a way that builds trust instead of eroding control.
