She emphasizes the need for attorneys to stop complaining about not having lunch and instead empower their teams to support them effectively. Molly also provides actionable steps to create a positive shift in the workplace dynamic.

Key Takeaways

• Using passive-aggressive language when discussing workload or stress is unproductive and disempowering for the team.

• Analyze where breakdowns are occurring in your processes. Are there inefficiencies or bottlenecks that need to be addressed?
• Consider investing in training programs to empower your team with the skills and knowledge needed to support you effectively.
