Why Thinking Like a Lawyer Is Bad for Your Career

According to career coach Michael Melcher:
"What works for legal analysis doesn’t work for personal growth. That’s because the processes of attaining career fulfillment and growing as a professional are not all that susceptible to logic.

Check out his insightful suggestions on why thinking like a lawyer may be getting in the way of achieving your career goals.
