Informed by Practice
The Future of Leadership — conducted in
partnership with the Bucerius Center on the Legal
Profession and Egon Zehnder.
To deepen the research, I conducted 35 in-depth
interviews with:
– Managing Partners, CEOs, and COOs from
leading law firms

business and law schools.
Drawing from this, along with my dual
background in law and psychology, and my
hands-on experience advising legal leaders, I
developed a comprehensive, holistic framework
