The Corporate Counsel Show: Managing in-house teams in challenging times

Danielle Nahum has learned a lot as a leader over the years, including the power of kindness and the importance of team stability. In times of upheaval, such lessons prove invaluable in navigating periods of broader uncertainty.

In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Danielle Nahum, ANZ head of legal – group procurement, about what makes a good in-house legal leader and what she's learned about leadership. They discuss whether it's harder than ever to be a good leader in-house, the headline challenges facing law departments at present, and whether there are opportunities arising from this.

Nahum also delves into how to lead by example, approaches that may not work, how she looks to build the right kind of culture for her team, creating a stable environment, keeping team morale high, managing a multi-generational workforce, how leaders can upskill, and what aspiring leaders should learn.
