## Resource

According to this head of legal, it's "almost impossible" to have workplace excellence without also building and maintaining a good and kind team culture. Here, she unpacks how to tick all boxes. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back ANZ head of legal Danielle Nahum to discuss why a culture that is good and kind is not incompatible with achieving excellence, whether legal leaders are adequately focused on the need to tick all boxes, whether what constitutes excellence is evolving, and challenges standing in the way of excellence and good culture. Nahum also reflects on how and when she learnt the need to strike the right balance between achieving excellence and creating the right kind of culture, how she looks to implement this in her own team, the importance of proactively managing such issues, identifying elements contributing to suboptimal outcomes or culture, better managing scattered workforces, better integration of team members with different cultures, and how leaders can stay calm and ensure such priorities do not fall down the to-do list.
