Description

The GC as the Organizational Change Agent

In this CLO Club, we will discuss what you can do as a law department leader to drive change, whether transformational or project driven, while engaging and rallying your team and creating an environment that can sustain and embrace that momentum and urgency for the future.


While the only thing constant is change itself, especially in today’s dynamic economy, most lawyers are resistant to change. Some of the most well-known research on this is by Dr. Larry Richards, which highlights how lawyers on average, measure high on skepticism, urgency and autonomy, and low on sociability and resilience – all key characteristics that influence one’s ability to adapt to change. As a law department leader, you have an important role as strategic business partner and catalyst, but while you may see that vision and direction, it can often be a challenge to bring the team along with you on the journey.
