Leadership Workshop

This event is only for LLB & LLM students.

This is a leadership class for aspiring lawyers and businesspeople. We will begin with the professional qualities that are non-negotiable for success in the business world. We will then turn to skills – sometimes labelled “soft” skills – that are actually both difficult and critical to master. These are skills rooted in perspective, long-term thinking and development, and empathy for others. These are ultimately the capabilities that separate admirable and memorable leaders from competent but uninspiring leaders. We’ll talk about the leadership challenges and opportunities that arise in large business organizations. And we’ll conclude with practical tips and strategies that will help students develop their own approach to professional growth and personal development over time, whether their journeys lead them to the private sector (business and law), public sector, academia, or judiciary.

Speakers: Marie Oh Huber, Former Chief Legal Counsel, EBAY and Pierre Gentin, Chief Legal Officer, McKinsey

Chair: Prof. David Kershaw, Dean of LSE Law School.

This event will be on a first-come first serve basis.
