As I reflect on our first ten years of building and leading Sterling Law, there are 11 lessons that have surprised me.

Here they are:
1 - Being a leader is your identity
2 - Building a law firm is a sprint and a marathon
3 - Vulnerability is confidence in action
4 - Discipline today avoids pain tomorrow
5 - Leadership isn't winning your way.  It’s clearing the way for teammates.
6 - Hire to complement. Not get compliments
7 - Indecision turns temporary pain chronic
8 -  Ten minutes with your top performers  beats 10 hours with your under performers
9 - Recruiting is 95% rejecting talent that doesn’t fit
10 - The value you command is determined by the magnitude of the problems you solve
11 - Tenacity beats talent
