Summary

Are you leading your law firm or just playing pretend? In this unmissable episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill dives deep into the raw, unfiltered truths about authentic leadership. If you're hiding behind a facade of professionalism while your firm crumbles, you're not just failing your team — you're failing yourself. Michael doesn't pull any punches as he tackles the tough questions: Can you be authentic without losing respect? How do you balance vulnerability with authority? Are your actions truly reflecting the standards you preach? Drawing from his own experiences and hard-hitting examples, Michael reveals why showing up as your true self is non-negotiable for building trust and respect. He exposes the dangers of a "do as I say, not as I do" mentality and challenges you to lead by example — because your team is always watching. ---- Show Notes: 00:00 – Introduction 02:13 – How to get your questions answered on The Game Changing Attorney Podcast 03:23 – How to balance being true to yourself and maintaining a professional demeanor 06:03 – How to build trust with the people you lead 08:34 – Jessica Mogill’s opinion on Michael’s authentic leadership style 10:25 – How to maintain authority and respect while practicing vulnerability 13:03 – Why you’ll never be respected if you’re not trusted 14:34 – Michael’s self-description as a short-term pessimist and a long-term optimist 17:24 – How to lead authentically with actions instead of just words 20:31 – Michael’s proven theory: Habits and behaviors are caught, not taught 22:07 – Why you can’t demand a standard you won’t uphold yourself ---- Links & Resources LinkedIn Microaggressions Kim Scott Radical Candor by Kim Scott ChatGPT Google ---- Listening to this episode but want to watch it?
