1. •  better listening and communication skills;
   

2. •  first focusing on underlying needs instead of arguing about strategies; and
   

3. •  sharper focus on what is really important.  
   

Increase Efficiency and Productivity

2. •  Make the most of your personality type and learn to recognize your client’s personality type to find a natural approach to client development.
   

Enhance Lawyer Development

1. •  Learn how to provide “Actionable Feedback,” i.e., feedback that is constructive and meaningful even on difficult issues without engendering defensiveness.
   

2. •  Help less experienced lawyers think as a more experienced lawyer.
