Corporate Counsel Forum Middle East 2011

Lawyers who were trained in legal theory and to serve back office “no comment” positions are now "setting the tone and delivering the message," both externally and internally for their corporate client. General counsel are increasingly asked to carry a new portfolio of responsibilities for their companies, including shared or sole responsibility for government relations, acting as media spokesperson, serving as guardian of the corporate ethical culture, managing shareholder relations and counseling board advisors.

As we enter the 21st century there is a growing awareness of the importance and need for effective leadership. Effective modern leadership is a skill comprised of many different traits or qualities. As a general counsel what skills and strategies should you consider in order to be most effective?

Learn how to lead your legal teams; develop your own personal brand; learn from other leaders.
