Abigail Adcox: What are some of the lessons or things you implemented as COO at McGuireWoods that you hope to bring to Lewis Brisbois? Richard Davis: Some of the key lessons I learned from working in professional services for 20-plus years is the importance of investing in talent. It sounds cliche, but at the end of the day, whether it’s the client-facing attorneys or more internally focused roles with the business professionals, having the right team around you is absolutely critical. I mentioned before the organization’s ability to and willingness to embrace change is very important to make sure that they don’t get left behind, that we always have to try to do better to maintain our competitive position, and if you really are out there trying to gain market share.

Scott Galloway's insights on elitism demand the attention of corporate America and Ivy League institutions. With the rollback of affirmative action, opportunities for average students are dwindling, and the erosion of DEI initiatives will further limit job prospects for Black candidates. These changes are not just policy shifts; they represent a broader retreat from equity and inclusivity that can have long-lasting impacts on our workforce and society. It's crucial for leaders in both academia and business to recognize and address these issues, ensuring that meritocracy and diversity are preserved and promoted. #equalnotequal #fairnessdorall #scottgalloway #elitenot #opportunityforall https://lnkd.in/gV6cz_H2

Honoring Black History Month: Risk Management and Social Responsibility 🌟 As we celebrate Black History Month, let's reflect on the profound connections between risk management, social responsibility, and the enduring legacy of historical figures who championed justice and equality. 🙌 In the world of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC), ethical leadership and responsible decision-making play pivotal roles. Risk management isn't just about financial safeguards; it's about safeguarding our values and principles, too. 🌐 ✨ Historical Inspiration: Throughout history, leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X fearlessly stood against injustice. They faced daunting risks, yet their unwavering commitment to social responsibility changed the course of history. Their stories remind us that taking risks for a just cause can lead to monumental change. 🌍 🔗 Connecting the Dots: In GRC, we're entrusted with the responsibility to identify, assess, and mitigate risks. But it's equally vital that we consider the ethical implications of our actions. Are we upholding the principles of fairness, equity, and justice? Are we standing up for what's right, even when it's challenging? ⭐ Embracing Ethical Risk Management: Let's use this month to recommit ourselves to ethical risk management. Let's honor the legacy of those who came before us by integrating social responsibility into our risk assessments, compliance strategies, and corporate governance. 🤝 Together, we can continue their legacy by making a difference in our organizations and communities. Let's drive positive change, foster inclusivity, and uphold social responsibility as integral parts of our GRC journey. 🌟 #blackhistorymonth #riskmanagement #socialresponsibility #ethicalleadership #grc #diversityandinclusion #changemakers #linkedinposts

Good intentions around DEI aren’t enough. Organizations with genuine DEI policies don’t just talk the talk. They walk the walk. Without accountability, DEI efforts are just superficial statements.  What does building accountability look like? - The organization evaluates the effectiveness of its DEI practices.  - Both leaders and employees are evaluated and rewarded for doing their part.   - Discrimination and harassment are taken seriously.  - The organization is willing to learn from missteps and acts of discrimination or exclusion.     A great example of this in action: The Hartford has built DEI accountability into the core of its individual and business units.   Catalyst Inc.’s new report shares more on how to create genuine DEI policies. ⬇
