ACC St Louis: Using Leadership and Decision-Making to Overcome Current Business and Legal Challenges

Join the ACC St. Louis and Washington University Olin Business School for a half day program on Leadership and Decision Making on Friday, April 14th.

Today's corporate attorneys are frequently called upon to make critical decisions that impact many different stakeholders. These high-risk, high-opportunity decisions are often made under considerable time pressure. How much weight do we give to analytics and data versus experience, emotion and intuition?

Session #1:  What Are the Attributes of a Great Leader? with Professor Hillary Elfenbein

• In this session, Dr Elfenbein presents the Olin Business School's leadership model developed from the evidence-based science of leadership development with      focus both on WHO the leader is (personal values and attributes) and WHAT the leader does (content mastery and intellectual skills).
• Personal characteristics are hard to change and not necessarily desirable to change. Rather, the best plan for professional development is self-awareness and thoughtful planning where ones default personal style is right for the job.
• By contrast, leadership skills are critical to develop and learning them is accelerated in a context of feedback, coaching and self-reflection.

Session #2:  The Decision Making Framework with Dr. Peter Boumgarden, PhD.

• We'll investigate what it means to make a strategic decision, by introducing a set of concepts for making decisions with greater strategic acuity
• You will walk away with a set of frameworks for decision-making, and an application for how it would function in teh context of legal space
