    Empowering and growing your team is a cornerstone of building a successful law practice, yet many attorneys overlook it. On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, we explore how to transition from delegating tasks to enabling your team members to make strategic decisions and think critically. Steve welcomes Patti Paz, a seasoned paralegal and team leader, who shares her expertise on the four stages of empowerment from the Atticus curriculum. Patti provides actionable steps to enhance your team's effectiveness and confidence. We also discuss Patti's journey from a paralegal in an estate planning practice to a team leader despite initial resistance and skepticism. Patti reveals the differences between an office manager and a team leader, emphasizing the strategic leadership and empowerment the latter role requires. With insights from the Team Leader Certification Program she co-created, Patti offers new team leaders the tools and strategies they need to succeed, sharing lessons from her experiences and common mistakes lawyers make in treating their team members. Steve and Patti outline the four levels of empowerment and trust within a team structure, detailing how attorneys can accelerate their team's development through dedicated training and structured time management. By exploring each stage—from gathering facts to achieving a self-managing team—we highlight the lawyer's evolving role in managing a team and ultimately managing managers. Finally, Steve and Patti focus on maintaining a united leadership front, the value of the Team Leader Program, and appreciation for Patti's exceptional coaching skills and contributions to the Atticus community.
