Brad Sklar is recognized by peers for his dedication and guidance — particularly through COVID-19 legislation. He has helped clients and peers alike not only weather the storm, but thrive on the other side of it.
As a shareholder in his firm for 32 years and Best Lawyers® 2021 Business Organizations “Lawyer of the Year” in Birmingham, Brad believes one unexpected skill is vital to overcoming challenges. “I think good leaders are able to be silent — to listen and gather information and different perspectives,” he shares.
Brad’s advice:
- As a leader, avoid falling into “instinctual mode.”
- Encourage people to speak up and voice different ideas.
- Be a listener to more than just what you want to hear.
