"Chris Hohn, a partner in St. Louis, was elected the firm’s new chair, Roman Wuller said, because the partners wanted someone who would protect the firm’s culture, focus on growth, exhibit “good common sense,” and is respected by clients."

Was thrilled to serve on an esteemed panel of chief legal officers, LaTanya Langley, Deneen Donnley and Rashida La Lande and moderator Conway Ekpo at the Exchange powered by Quantum Leadership Foundation discussing how we navigate, build and lead law departments while partnering with our colleagues in the C-suite. I always learn so much at these events but here are a few takeaways: 1) Recognize whether your charge is to bring change or stability 2) CLO has two meanings--the obvious one and Chief Listening Officer 3) Assess talent and look for the hidden gems. You may find it where you didn't expect to. 4) Be clear about what's important to you in your personal life and honor that 5) Get help and don't be shy about it 6) Identify what you want to influence and then make a plan to do that 7) Remember "that what got you there won't sustain you". 8) CLO's have to have courage, so don't get the job and lose yours 9) The first thing you need to do when you get promoted is to promote yourself and realize that leaders are hired to lead, coach and develop their teams. 10) CLO's are hired to be strategic advisors not just compliance attorneys. A failure to recognize that shift in focus can be devastating for your team, your company and your career.
