Being in charge or inspiring leadership are two different things. The second is what this GCN Magazine is all about. Almost all General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers have a team of lawyers “working for them”. By the way, the same applies to law firm partners, e.g. employed by the esteemed GCN partners. Many of us entered that role as professional lawyers without being trained in what constitutes ‘good leadership’. What to do?
We live in times of radical transparency and great uncertainty. If we can give you one piece of advice: read the editorial in which we had the privilege of interviewing the incredibly inspiring Kevin Murray. He emphasises that practical communication skills are more important than ever and comes up with great practical tips for Leading Lawyers who are serious about Leadership. Use it to your advantage!
