Developing future leaders of the legal profession
In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Evolve Resolve, we unpack how lawyers can become more than just technically proficient and transition into leaders that the professional services marketplace both needs and increasingly demands.
Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Evolve Resolve founder and director Damien van Brunschot about his journey in the legal profession (including being managing partner of the Australian arm of a global firm), how he developed leadership capabilities in law, and why he thinks the development of leadership skills in the legal workplace is still often overlooked. The truth is that for many lawyers, they are simply expected to figure it out themselves.
In this episode, van Brunschot also delves into the flow-on consequences of not effectively investing in the teaching of practical leadership skills, including how law firm leaders can meaningfully make time to invest and develop the next generation of leaders. For those intent on climbing the ladder, including emerging leaders, the skills and mindset required to achieve promotion are also covered.
Tune in and unpack the journey from technical proficiency to law firm and business leader.
