FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Austin, Texas (October 27, 2015) – An attorney in Pennsylvania is counting his blessings today after being promoted to a new role as Managing Attorney. This makes him the firm’s most senior employee, secondly only to the firm’s owner. According to the owner, the attorney is now on a clear track to make partner.
What surprised everyone is how quickly the promotion happened. According to ThinkPlanLaunch CEO, Steven Fies, “We were happy to learn how quickly our client achieved this promotion. When the promotion was awarded, we had engaged him in just two coaching sessions during the months before. This is the quickest we have ever seen such concrete results.”
The attorney attributes his success to hard work and key insights discovered during coaching. After taking ThinkPlanLaunch’s Talent Insights® assessment, which evaluated his behavioral style and intrinsic motivators, he was able to improve his communication skills, understanding of co-workers needs, and approach to clients.
Fies added, “People hire, promote, and pay people they like. This is nothing new. Yet despite this awareness, some people choose to ignore their developmental needs. These are the people forever destined to be frustrated, underpaid, and out-paced by those who invest in themselves.”
ThinkPlanLaunch believes law firms and attorneys are great prospects. Law firms have among the highest rates of employee turnover, disengagement, and communication problems.
Moreover, attorneys are well-known to shoulder enormous responsibilities and heavy workloads, causing stress and adversely affecting productivity. This means there is great opportunityfor attorneys and firms willing to invest.
More on Talent Insights®
Research tells us the most effective people are those who understand themselves, including their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their environment. These are considered behavioral factors.
Additional research tells us successful people are highly motivated. This is intuitive for most people to understand, but it is lesser known that people are not motivated for the same reasons. To perform their best, a person’s work must be in proper alignment with their core motivators.
The Talent Insights® instrument measures four dimensions of normal behavior and twelve driving forces, more commonly referred to as intrinsic motivators, and provides an “instant personal development plan,” with targeted advice for improvement tailored to the respondent’s unique profile.
This lays the foundation for coaching, which is augmented with additional training and development exercises. Positive effects include improved communication, better time management ability, increased motivation, and reduced stress.
