How GCs can develop their business skills to be effective leaders
Many of the innovations and ideas that GCs and in-house legal teams need to embrace have already evolved within the wider business environment. Some GCs feel unprepared to tackle key business challenges and concepts.
The conversation
Catherine will explore the grey areas around some of the themes in her book: leadership, purpose, culture and creativity. Using real-life examples to bring these themes to life, Catherine will demonstrate the importance of human centred business skills, how they are becoming central to legal teams and what savvy GCs and in-house lawyers should be thinking about to maximise their team’s success.
