Disruption is everywhere, from AI to shifting business models and new ways of working. But the real challenge isn’t the change itself. It’s the tensions leaders must hold while navigating it.
Today’s leaders are expected to balance seemingly competing demands: giving people flexibility while maintaining accountability, moving faster while staying deeply connected to their teams, and delivering results while still developing capability for the future.
This session explores how leaders can cut through complexity and lead with clarity in the AI era. Trudy shares practical strategies for driving meaningful progress while keeping people engaged, building trust through disruption, and creating cultures that adapt without losing their humanity.
Key Leadership Tensions:
Flexibility and Accountability
- Empower autonomy while maintaining clear expectations and performance standards in increasingly flexible workplaces.
Speed and Human Connection
- Navigate faster decision cycles driven by AI and data while ensuring trust, clarity, and strong relationships remain at the centre of leadership.
Delivery and Development
- Balance the pressure for immediate outcomes with the need to build capability, grow people, and prepare teams for the future.
Who should attend:
• Lawyers who are responsible for the development of others in their team, including Senior Associates and Partners.
• Professional Support Staff Managers including Practice Managers, General Managers and Specialist Managers.
This seminar will be recorded and made available in our On Demand library after the live event.
