  • How changing workforce and client expectations are influencing lawyer performance, leverage, and retention
  • Leadership approaches that support a four-generation workplace without lowering standards
  • Managing the tension between precision, risk mitigation, and the need for adaptability
  • Why leadership capability, communication, and learning agility are becoming competitive advantages
