🤝 For General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers, success starts with building a strong relationship with their CEO. Sandra Phillips Rogers, CLO at Toyota North America, says: 🗨️ "As you get to know the CEO and, more importantly, the CEO gets to know you, then there's a nice synergy that evolves, and then you move into that consigliere type of role where you're looked to to be a good thought partner. And not just on legal issues but, really, all issues. Once that starts to take root, then you find yourself in the middle of every significant business decision that the company makes." 💡 Gain more invaluable insights into how to serve and create value for your organization at GC University ➡ https://lnkd.in/gejXtESR
