'People Want Confidence' In Their Leaders: Why Sidley Makes Succession Planning a Priority - a podcast by ALM STAFF

In this week’s episode, Law.com business of law reporter Dylan Jackson talks to Yvette Ostolaza, the chair-elect of Sidley’s management committee, and Larry Barden, the firm’s outgoing chair. The conversation centers on the timeless topic of succession planning--an area too many firms neglect despite knowing the potential cost of doing so. Barden and Ostolaza, who will be the first woman to lead Sidley in its 155-year history, discuss the firm’s philosophy on succession planning and its approach to cultivating a new generation of law firm leadership that is both diverse and innovative.
