Please join The San Francisco Intellectual Property Law Association for its Hot Topic Series:
Jerks, Bullies and Incivility in Law Practice (Competence credit)
Many attorneys are impacted by jerks, bullies and incivility while practicing law. What are the financial, physical and emotional costs to those who experiences bullying at work? What happens on teams where someone puts their personal agenda ahead of the team’s goals and objectives and whose negative attitudes infect the workplace? In this seminar, you will learn how to deal competently and ethically with those who are disrespectful, openly aggressive, passive-aggressive, or tuned out to others. You will learn to have difficult discussions designed to stop distraction, erosion of the team relationships, and damage to reputations.
