Focus Group on Research Exploring Gritty, Growth-Mindset-Oriented Teams

In the summer of 2021, the Commission on Women in the Profession launched a new survey designed to measure the effectiveness of gritty, growth-mindset-oriented teams and further explore how leaders, emerging leaders, and team members can encourage, nurture, and develop these traits in the team context.

As this research moves into the next phase, focus groups and one-on-one interviews are being held to further develop a deeper understanding of the impact these traits have on legal team dynamics. One-on-one interviews and virtual focus groups over Zoom took place during January 2022.

The intent is for the results from this survey and focus groups to provide the legal profession with a deeper understanding of factors that contribute to team success and help organizations continue to close the gender gap at the leadership level by providing women lawyers with additional strategies and tools to help them thrive as both team members and team leaders.
