In the field of legal knowledge management and innovation, Sally Gonzalez is both a legend and a trailblazer. Over the course of her 40-year career, she has worked for some of the world's largest law firms to develop and lead KM and strategic technology initiatives. She has overseen KM and information technology programs at such global firms as Norton Rose Fulbright, Dentons, Akin Gump, Covington & Burling, and Jones Day, and been a strategic consultant at major consulting firms including HBR, Navigant, PwC and, most recently, Fireman & Company,  Gonzalez surprised some of those who attended the Knowledge Management and Innovation for Legal Conference held in New York City in October, where she was the keynote speaker, when she announced her retirement there and was recognized by her peers for her decades of contributions to the legal industry. That made her keynote, in which she spoke about core principles for successful KM, her swan song, of sorts.  Following her keynote, LawNext host Bob Ambrogi, who was at the conference, sat down with Gonzalez to record this conversation about her thoughts on KM, innovation, AI, culture, change management, and much more.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Career advocates are critical to career growth. In fact, employees with advocates are 23% more likely to advance at work. However, many people assume that their success is based purely on capability.   Renée Dye joins to discuss the key role and critical attributes of advocates, how you can cultivate and attract influential players to meet your goals, and the impact of remote work on relationship management and organizational culture.Renée is an associate professor in the practice of Organization & Management at Emory University's Goizueta Business School. Prior to this role, she served in McKinsey's Global Strategy practice for more than 12 years and as chief strategy & innovation officer for Navigant. Her expertise has been featured in leading publications, including the Harvard Business Review, McKinsey Quarterly, and Fortune.  Organizational Politics: A Big Challenge for New & Emerging Leaders  During a recent survey of MBA graduates at Goizueta, Dye uncovered a startling insight. Of the many challenges new and emerging leaders face, these graduates felt least equipped to navigate organizational politics. She encourages universities to add curriculum around this topic–and devotes an entire class to this area to support her students. It takes more than strategies and skillsets to propel yourself to the C-suite; career advocates and champions are key.    Organizations are Not Meritocracies While organizations are not meritocracies, many workers and students feel that career success is predicated purely on capability. Dye shares that excellence is critically important, but it's not enough. Relationship management is a crucial skill everyone should cultivate.   Research shows that employees with advocates are 23% more likely to advance at work. So, what should you look for in a career advocate?  Mentors vs. Advocates Mentors and advocates are both important for career growth, but the set of attributes necessary for each varies. A mentor is a personal coach that provides a safe place to share. You can go to this person with no fear of judgement or consequence. You can be completely transparent and open about mistakes. On the other hand, an advocate needs to be above you vertically in your own or outside of your organization. They have likely been in the job market longer than you, have accumulated more experience, and can open doors for you. They are in a position of authority and have political power. They also need to have a deep and abiding faith in you and what you can achieve. They know you are not going to let them down.   Common Mistakes in Identifying Advocates  The most common mistake that employees make, particularly underrepresented individuals, is assuming that an advocate needs to look like them. It can be human nature to search for advocates of your same race and gender, but this can greatly limit your pool of potential advocates. Instead focus on your fit in other areas. Do you share similar personalities? Do you approach problems in a like-minded way? Do you have shared interests?  The Advocacy Value Proposition  When you are working with an advocate, their credibility is on the line. They have worked hard to advance in their career and have accumulated social, political, and relational capital along the way. For them to take you on, you must prove that you will add to their store of capital rather than deplete it.   So, what can you do to make it a mutually beneficial relationship?   First off, do excellent work. You will not even be considered unless you always bring your A-game.   Next, make yourself indispensable to your potential advocate. It's important to note that this does not have to be in the confines of your job description. For example, if they support a nonprofit that is near and dear to their heart, support their work on the board, chair a committee, and get involved. Leaders appreciate this effort because it shows that you're not just in it for a narrow job evaluation, but that you are committed for the long haul.   Show gratitude. Individuals want to know they're making a difference in your life. Communicate gratitude in a heartfelt and thorough way to cement your advocacy value proposition.  Remote Work & Career Growth In recent years, we've seen a major shift in employer policies surrounding remote work. Surveys show that workers are eager to embrace the flexibility of this approach, but there are costs to working off site, including diluted company culture and waning employee engagement.   Younger workers benefit most from in-office culture because they are exposed to advocates and can participate as apprentices. It's very difficult to cultivate a relationship with an advocate remotely, and the exchange can feel transactional. For older employees who have built relationships for decades, remote work may not impact career trajectory; however, while it may seem attractive, you're not giving back to the younger generation through the advocacy and apprenticeship that you enjoyed earlier in your career.     To learn more about Goizueta Business School and how principled leaders are driving positive change in business and society, visit www.goizueta.emory.edu.  

Cette semaine, je suis heureuse de vous présenter Rosa.    Une femme à la fois douce et discrète mais aussi dynamique et toujours partante pour une bonne partie de rigolade…   Rosa est née en 1938 dans le 4è arrondissement de paris et a vécu toute son enfance, avec sa soeur de 6 ans sa cadette et ses parents, dans l'est parisien. Navigant entre le 3è et le 4è et le 11è arrondissement, c'est finalement rue Morand   que la famille s'installera pour de bon. Rosa nous raconte son enfance dans les années d'après-guerre, dans son petit appartement de Belleville. Elle le cite en toute fin d'épisode, et vous l'aurez compris, Claude est le cher et tendre de Rosa. Ils se sont rencontrés en 1957, elle avait alors 19 ans. Ils se sont mariés dans la foulée, et coulent aujourd'hui des jours heureux… toujours dans le 11è arrondissement de Paris… quand on aime, on aime !! J'espère, une fois encore, que cet épisode vous plaira, vous fera sourire, rêver aussi; j'espère que vous serez ému comme moi je l'ai été en  écoutant Rosa nous raconter une vie heureuse, mais pas tous les jours facile     Comme d'habitude, n'hésitez pas à me laisser un commentaire, pour me dire ce que vous aimez, ce que vous aimez moins, si la musique vous plait, si elle est trop forte, pas assez forte, ou même juste parfaite  (on n'est pas à l'abri d'un coup de bol

How do you find your way out of a seemingly never-ending conflict?  We have to remember that what got us stuck in something we have a difficult time getting out of is brought about by complex factors. Hence, not just one but a series of actions are needed, and a pattern-breaking path should be in place.  Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler, PhD. is a leading expert on conflict and organizational psychology, is founder and CEO of Alignment Strategies Group, and author of OPTIMAL OUTCOMES: Free Yourself from Conflict at Work, at Home, and in Life (HarperBusiness, 2020), selected as a Financial Times Book of the Month. For two decades, she has advised senior leaders at global corporations in a wide range of industries, as well as, at large non-profit and governmental institutions.  In the corporate arena, Jennifer helps CEOs and their teams achieve optimal organizational health and growth, specializing in innovative technology, healthcare, and financial and professional services companies. She has served clients including CSC, IBM, Intel, Athena Health, Novartis, Oscar Health Insurance, Oxeon, Roche, Barclays, GE Capital, Moody's, Cornerstone Research, LexisNexis, Navigant, and KPMG.  In the public sector, she enables leaders and their teams to optimize organizational impact at institutions including Jazz at Lincoln Center, the New York City Economic Development Corporation, The New School, Oxfam America, and the United Nations.  In this episode, Jennifer shares how female business leaders tend to resolve conflict no end,  but with no result, instead of freeing themselves from it.

The best thing we can do is to do something different.     Key Takeaways:  “The biggest mistakes that people make are trying to resolve conflict, rather than freeing themselves from it.” - Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler  “There are all different kinds of opportunities that could arise once you stop, pause, notice how you're stuck and then challenge yourself to simply do something different, surprisingly different than you've done before.” - Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler  “When you're involved in a situation that has been determined by complex factors, you want to start simple. You don't want to add more complexity on top of it and make it even more complex. You want to do something simple so that you can track your impact over time. It makes it much easier to do that.” - Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler  “Keep your actions surprisingly different from what you've done in the past. Sometimes, when you're going around and around on what I call this conflict loop when you surprise someone by doing something surprisingly different than you've done before, it can jolt them out of the conflict loop, too, in a good way.” - Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler  “Each action on that pattern-breaking path leads to the one that comes after it. So each action builds on the one that comes before it. So that there's a series of surprisingly different simple actions over time that leads you out of this conflict loop to freedom to this optimal outcome that you imagine for yourself.” - Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler    Ways to Connect with Jennifer Goldman-Wetzler  Website: https://jengoldmanwetzler.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jennifer.s.goldman.3 Twitter: https://twitter.com/jgoldmanwetzler LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-goldman-wetzler/    Ways to Connect with Sarah E.

"Electrification is indispensable for autonomous vehicles," says Puneet Sinha, in a recent Siemens blog, offered here in audio. Among the topics Puneet addresses: how to compensate for range reduction associated autonomous functionality; how the convergence of autonomy and electrification affects the electrical distribution system; and why virtual testing, validation, and verification will loom larger in the years ahead. Make sure to check out Puneet's post, as well, for twin photos (courtesy Navigant's Sam Abuelsamid) comparing the low-voltage wiring harness of a production Chevy Bolt with that of autonomous Chevy Bolt test vehicle. The added complexity and weight is clear at a glance. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
