Discovering Your
Future Leaders

Assess Future Leaders ​

Achieving Partnership is seen as the pinnacle and focus of a young lawyer’s career – and yet, how do you know they are truly ready for becoming a Partner who…

  • Enhances teams and actively develops an inclusive environment to collaborate and lead effectively across boundaries of difference and connect one’s personal leadership purpose and narrative to the diversity and inclusion agenda.
  • Influences the strategy of the firm.
  • Transforms from “doing” to “leading” aspects of the job.
  • Shifts the level of innovation and client intimacy in your firm.
  • Embodies their own leadership vision, sense of purpose and values.

Our approach

Our holistic approach includes an in-depth assessment of essential expertise, experiences, leadership competencies in thought, business and people leadership and testing hypotheses about their potential to grow into a larger role quickly. Additionally, we evaluate the leader’s identity, motivation and aspiration as drivers for future growth. We go beyond the leader today to understand and enable the future leader.

Supporting the Transition to Partner ​

Elevating to the rank of Partner marks a critical point in a lawyer’s career, but not all newly elected Partners are fully equipped for the transition. Many continue to operate as senior associates, missing out on the chance to bring innovative ideas and leadership to their firms. By investing in the development of your future Partners or newly elected Partners, you can gain a competitive edge and accelerate their growth toward visionary leadership.

Our development program focuses on the importance of a growth mindset beyond technical skills. Together, we will embark on a journey with your future Partners or newly elected Partners to adopt three key shifts:

  • Personal reinvention:​ Redefining identity as a Partner by developing a personal brand and a compelling vision for the future.
  • Stepping up as Partner: Equipping your lawyers with the tools to recognize and transform patterns and to build professional competencies, to foster a positive impact on the organization.
  • Sustaining human performance:​ Cultivating mental agility, individual resilience, and energy management for sustainable performance and well-being, empowering your Partners to sustain high performance over the next 20 years.
