Christopher Anderson believes great leadership starts with communication. It's this core principle that guides his revolutionary approach to law firm management through Lead Agile methodology - a system that transforms traditional hierarchical legal practices into nimble, self-organizing teams.
Drawing from his fascinating journey from astrophysics student to legal tech innovator, Christopher shares how his experience working with companies like LexisNexis and running his law firm led him to integrate business principles from outside the legal industry. His approach is refreshingly practical: he tests every strategy in his firm before sharing it with his clients, ensuring he's "eating his dog food" rather than offering untested theories.
At the core of Christopher’s method is the daily 15-minute scrum, where team members share progress, plans, and obstacles. Unlike slow top-down management, scrums solve issues quickly by connecting the right people. These small “two-pizza pods” keep teams both close-knit and efficient.
What makes this approach unique is that it delivers value in small steps, rather than only at the end. By “shipping the smallest things” continuously, clients see progress sooner, adjustments are easier, and satisfaction rises. As Christopher notes, these aren’t just project management tools; they’re communication tools that keep everyone aligned without extra paperwork.
