The L Suite (TechGC)’s Post

What's the most critical priority for GCs in their first 90 days? Build relationships with your business stakeholders! Yesterday, we sat down with the GCs at Runway, Mercury, and Ancora in our webinar, "The Path to GC: Tips to Land & Lead at a Growth Company." Their advice for new GCs: invest in relationships across the business early to build trust, understand the business, and align your focus with your business strategy. Our wide-ranging conversation touched on how to transition to an in-house role (including tips for reframing your experience to focus on transferable skills), the importance of legal operations and building a tech stack to enable legal to focus on strategic legal work, and the joy of working cross-functionally with non-lawyers! Thank you, Cathleen H., Kasey Johnson, and Robert Gonzalez for sharing your insights and experience. If you missed the webinar, you are in luck!

"They're afraid you'll ask too many really good questions". That's what a very high profile board chair (who himself was over boarded) said to me years ago when I asked about the prospects of joining a public company board. Boards no longer have the luxury of hiding from those challenging questions, because someone out there is asking them. No doubt that there are lots of lawyers who would be terrible board members -- just like there are plenty of CEOs who might not add value to a board -- but your board needs to be diverse in every way, including having leaders who will ask difficult questions. I love this @Law.com piece and Laura Schumacher's comments on the topic. It's time to bring modern solutions to modern challenges, including having someone on the board who is willing to productively and respectfully challenge the status quo and bring rigor to the governance process, especially in the #ESG and #Sustainability arena. Reputational risks are growing exponentially and you need to identify and address issues before someone else does. https://lnkd.in/esHeS7pQ
