Brilliant Lawyers, Struggling Leaders

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams sits down with Alec Pearson to explore the evolving landscape of law firm leadership.

Alec, an executive coach and a founding member of The Law Coach Collective, offers a candid look into why technical brilliance alone no longer defines legal success.

Together, they discuss:

• Why law firm partners must now master leadership, emotional intelligence, and commercial thinking
• The widening gap in non-technical skills across junior and senior lawyers
• The surprising statistics behind declining interest in partnership roles
• How generational shifts, client expectations, and AI are reshaping the legal profession
• Practical ways firms can boost leadership performance and staff retention
• Why self-reflection and coaching are becoming essential for senior legal professionals

Whether you're a managing partner rethinking strategy, a senior associate preparing for the next step, or a future legal leader navigating career growth, this episode offers clarity and direction.
