Summary
Once you make your work visible, you can finally see how much of your work is just stuck. And while a common reaction is to think that you are the bottleneck, that thinking is actually preventing you from understanding something much more useful and ultimately less personal about bottlenecks in law firms and how work is actually flowing through your legal delivery systems. In this episode, I’m building on last week's discussion of making work visible. The focus now shifts from seeing where work is to getting work to flow. You'll learn how to find the most important place where work is getting stuck, the best way to improve flow, and why treating process improvement as a team sport and approaching it with curiosity rather than judgment will yield far better outcomes than trying to fix everything yourself.
