If you are already thinking about life after law school, your new surrounding of colleagues may come to mind. This article from Harvard Business Review advises individuals on how to cultivate a personal board of directors—not always your boss or supervisors, but a group of people who know you and your work, who have your best interest in mind and who you can consult about your performance, evaluations and further growth. Your board of directors should include people you trust with your development: your fans, potential sponsors and your critics. Knowing how to develop in your career can be more difficult if you go through it alone; the best leaders and professionals ask for and listen to feedback from their own trusted boards.
