Assertiveness – what’s the right balance for in-house counsel?

Editors — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 12:56:04 +0000

Most corporate clients want their in-house counsel to be knowledgeable, have opinions, and be tough, but not necessarily opinionated, and certainly not pushy. So having the right level of assertiveness can be tricky business.If you're a difficult person,with a little fine-tuning,you may be able to turn your difficult nature into the desired competency of assertiveness, I wrote in my “difficult boss” post earlier this year.LikeBob Sutton, I view “assertiveness” as an important personal competency, when properly measured. And it needs to betailored to each of your clients and situations at hand.On the subject of balanced assertiveness, here are thoughts from others:Theleadership skill to work on.In a recent post, author-consultant Scott Edinger says: “If I had to pick one skill for the majority of leaders I work with to improve, it would be assertiveness. Not because being assertive is such a wonderful trait in and of itself. Rather, because of its power to magnify so many other leadership strengths.”The One Skill All Leaders Should Work On(HBR Mar. 2012).Being perfectly assertive.“Being just assertive enough, while not easy for any boss, is one of the most important features of a good one. . . . the best bosses get the balance right on any given day, and in myriad interactions with their followers, peers, and own bosses."The Delicate Art of Being Perfectly Assertive(June 2010).Balanced niceness. "The problem isn’t being a nice guy (or gal), the problem is in finding the right balance. . . . What is 'niceness?' How should it look? The authors define it as: . . . Striving to balance assertiveness with cooperation to achieve a spirit of collaboration." Review of the leadership bookNice Guys Can Get the Corner Office (on Leading Blog).No. 1 leadership deficiency. “Recent research . . . has found that the greatest identifiable trait that can hold someone back from becoming a great leader is being too assertive—or not assertive enough. In other words, assertiveness that is out of balance. . . . [E]xcessive or inadequate assertiveness was the No. 1 issue listed in the weakness column when it came to evaluating individuals’ leadership potential.” Assertiveness: The Meekest and Mightiest Make the Worst Leaders (Leadership Now, Oct. 2006).Bigger challenge for women.For woman, assertiveness-balance is a potentially more difficult competency to master: “The research shows that in corporate cultures strong females are often thoroughly disliked. In a 1990 study, D. Butler found that people respond negatively to assertive women. Assertive men, on the other hand, are admired as "managing for strong performance. . . . Much more recently, A. Eagly and L. Carli (2007) have found that self promotion is particularly risky for women. . . . All too often, she is heartily disliked for her "boastfulness" and seen as much less deserving of support by bosses and subordinates.”Likeability and Women's Leadership (Sylvia Ann Hewlett, HBR Mar. 2008).Woman or man, if you want to be LeadingInHousesm, spend some time mastering your assertiveness.This summary was prepared by Perry Cone and posted at LeadingInHouse.com.Legal Notice and Disclaimer

Horizontal career moves are good for in-house counsel

Editors — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:03:58 +0000

Do you view a successful in-house career as being “vertical” (up the corporate ladder) rather than “horizontal”? Don’t feel alone, but think again.Legal career opportunities are mostly horizontal (lateral). Although vertical moves (promotions) can be desirable, they also are rare for in-house counsel. So obsessing on promotionsmay lead to job unhappiness.The career-success myth.When I considered the question, vertical moves was my first answer. Then I started thinking about my own career. I’ve had only one traditional promotion. While developing expertise and seasoning, almost every move (whether in-house or in private practice) has been horizontal (lateral) in nature.My experience is typical. After all, there are a limited number of management positions for in-house counsel.Job happiness.Another reason not to feel stymied with horizontal moves is that they provide you with change, growth, and leadership opportunities that are important for job happiness.It's my belief that in-house counsel can provide leadershipfrom any position in the organization, irrespective of whether you have direct reports.But it's harder for you to beLeadingInHousesmif you're muddled in job unhappiness. So ifjob happiness is important to you (I assume that it is), thenfocuson making successfulhorizontal moves(within or without the organization).For more on the topic of “job happiness,” see my earlier postHow to be more happy (or less unhappy) at your job as in-house counsel(LIH, June 2011).You're not alone.As an in-house counsel, you are not alone in horizontal career moves being typical and desirable. As recent blog posts recount, today, vertical careers are the exception rather than the rule:Rather than being accomplished through layers of management, “most work is accomplished through horizontal processes that cut across different functions, geographies, and specialties. Therefore real success comes less from controlling people that report to you, and more from the ability to align stakeholders who surround you. . . . More and more . . . the real contributors will be the process owners and project leaders that are able to provide horizontal leadership.” Your Career Needs to Be Horizontal (Ron Ashkenas, Mar. 2012).“Reaching the apex of the career ladder by gradually getting promoted to the top is a thing of the past. From my experience as a career coach, career ladders in most organizations have not existed for at least fifteen years.”There Is No Career Ladder(Priscilla Claman, Feb. 2012).". . .traditional career planning is both a waste of time and potentially dangerous. A career plan can lead you into a false sense of confidence, where you fail to see opportunities as they arise and miss taking smart steps you otherwise hadn't otherwise planned for.” Career Plans are Dangerous (HBR, March 2012)."Staying relevant.My goal is definitely to stay relevant. Since I work in technology, staying relevant is hard, since so much technology is started by 25-30 year olds. And so, you really need to work at it, and again, a lot of networking helps you keep on top of things."Who Really Understands Where He'll Be in 25 Years?(HBR, Mar. 2011).This summary was prepared by Perry Cone and posted at LeadingInHouse.com.Legal Notice and Disclaimer

Top traits for succeeding in-house

Editors — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:11:38 +0000

Some may view going in-house as an opportunity to leave the stresses of private practice behind but a panel of experienced general counsel want to set the record straight about that — don’t think it means a lighter load. The client can be just as demanding and so is the work.“Some wildly underestimate what’s required of them and they stick around too long. It’s not a sanctuary for those looking for a slower pace,” says Simon Fish, executive vice president and general counsel of the Bank of Montreal.Fish was speaking as part of a panel entitled Managing Your First Five Years: Critical Concepts for Your Success In-house, part of the Association of Corporate Counsel’s Corporate Counsel Institute Canada held Monday and Tuesday in Toronto.“I’ve interviewed people who when asked why they want to come in-house say they are seeking ‘a balance’ in their life. In my mind I’m already thinking ‘You’re out of here.’ That’s not the reason you want to join my legal group. It fails to recognize the demands of in-house lawyers.”Fish also had this advice for those new to the in-house role: “Never say no. If someone comes to you with a great opportunity be slow to turn up your nose at it.”Going in-house often means taking on responsibilities and learning skills not typically taught at law school or in a firm, many of which are related to business management, says Kathryn Chisholm, senior vice president of legal and regulatory and government affairs with Capital Power Corp. in Alberta.“You need to be a project manager — you need to be able to herd cats, but don’t let your communication skills get in the way of your advocacy skills. You are risk managers; it’s what makes the difference between good and great internal counsel,” says Chisholm, who adds that a successful general counsel is so because they immerse themselves in the business of the company they work for and ask questions that show they want to aid in its success.“The only way I ended up in a GC role was because I asked questions that didn’t have anything to do with legalities. I demonstrated an interest in the business that showed I was interested and loyal,” she says.Project management skills come in handy when dealing with external counsel, says Chisholm. “You need to closely manage external counsel and you must manage them, don’t just monitor external counsel. They aren’t gods — they do have human-like traits.”ViXS Systems Inc. general counsel Cheryl Foy emphasized the importance of learning about the culture of the company you’re working for and understanding the needs and challenges of the business.“Figure out who you’re working with. It’s folly to go in with the idea that ‘I’m the lawyer’ — people will argue with your legal opinion. You have to build credibility so assess the culture first,” says Foy.And when Foy found herself in a situation in a previous in-house job where she wanted to be part of the executive team but wasn’t regarded as such she received this advice: “You need to be acting like you’re at the table already.”Possibly one of the most important shifts lawyers need to make when they go in-house is their communication style, says David Allgood, executive vice president and general counsel with the Royal Bank of Canada.“Adapt a communication style that reflects that your audience has changed,” he says. “Remember it’s the enterprise who is your client now.”Chisholm agrees, saying long-winded legal opinions don’t give the business units what they really need.“I always tell my lawyers, never come to me with a problem, always come to me with a solution.”

Difficult boss? Challenges for in-house counsel

Editors — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:54:48 +0000

It's no secret that bosses can be difficult people. So why would in-house counsel think they are immune from having one? On the flip side, if you supervise others, have you ever been surprised to learn that your direct reports consider you to be difficult (and you don’t)?Being “difficult” can be in the eye of the beholder, with many shades and meanings. It can be good for direct reports and the organization, when change requires a forceful approach. When a supervising attorney is a "bad boss," it can have disastrous consequences.If you're a difficult boss, consider these strategies and reminders:Control your difficult side.Make sure you're in control of your difficult side. It’s one thing to be tough and demanding, to get the best out of your team. But if you have a difficult nature that results from bad habits, you have work to do on improving your own competencies.Be comfortable with your responsibilities.At times, being a tough boss comes with the territory. As leadership authors Hill and Lineback write, it takes “courage to make hard decisions or take tough actions, such as giving difficult feedback, denying a promotion to someone who's good but not good enough, . . . or even laying off people when the economy goes bad.”The First Requirement for Becoming a Great Boss.Candor helps.So while there is no need to apologize (although it might help), be as candid as you can with your team or impacted direct reports. They should appreciate your explanation and openness about the company’s problems, the demands of your job, or a personal issue. Then watch themrise to the occasion.Be clear.If your toughness is directed at changing the competencies of a direct report, make sure you have been clear as to what you're trying to accomplish. Change management is an art-form for which there are few short cuts. If you're at the point that you need to be difficult, your direct report should understand how serious this is. If you’re being passively aggressive because you don’t have the patience for change management, you’re unlikely to succeed.Be "perfectly assertive."With a little fine-tuning, you may be able to turn your difficult nature into the desired competency of assertiveness.As Bob Sutton writes:"Being just assertive enough, while not easy for any boss, is one of the most important features of a good one. . . . the best bosses get the balance right on any given day, and in myriad interactions with their followers, peers, and own bosses."The Delicate Art of Being Perfectly Assertive.It may be you.And then there’s the possibility that your difficult behavior is known to everyone but you. Paraphrasing Bob Sutton, you may have "aflawed and incomplete understanding of what it feels like to work for [you]."12 Things Good Bosses Believe.Seek (and be open to) feedback. Hopefully, your organization or direct reports will have the courage to give you feedback, and you'll be open to it. If you've just received this feedback in a 360 evaluation, take a deep breath and handle it well.Bouncing Back from a Negative 360-Degree Review.If you're not getting that feedback, you may "need courage just to seek" it "and even more to digest and take action based on it."The First Requirement for Becoming a Great Boss.
