Why You Might be Better Off Being an Average Attorney Than Trying to Be an Exceptional One

On this podcast, BCG Attorney Search Recruiting Manager Brie Mills, Recruiter Jennifer McNeil, and Founder/CEO Harrison Barnes discuss how you can be happier and have a better quality of life as an average attorney. So many attorneys strive to be the very best at the expense of their mental and physical health. Once you learn to accept that there is nothing wrong with being average, you can begin to relax and enjoy your life and career more than ever before. And take note: The large majority of attorneys are average. Only a small handful can be exceptional, and the price for exceptional status is extraordinarily high. It’s OK to be average, and accepting this can be hugely beneficial to your health and happiness.
