The morning huddle is something I have discovered to be a powerful and yet really simple method of improving my practice. While it brings numerous benefits, its principal benefit for me is that it creates and maintains daily alignment in my firm.

This recommendation applies to everyone, of course. But if you’re a lawyer, then you’d best heed my advice and tread lightly when posting commentary online on social media sites or elsewhere. Otherwise you run the risk of running afoul of your ethical obligations and unleashing the wrath of your bar’s disciplinary body. At the very least, you’ll face embarrassment and at the worst you may be disciplined or even barred from the practice of law altogether.
