Leadership isn’t reserved for those with fancy titles or corner offices. What if every person in an organization could see themselves as a leader, regardless of their role?

Gayle Lantz speaks with Tim Lupinacci, CEO of Baker Donelson, a top 100 law firm, and author of “Everybody Leads”. Tim advocates that leadership is not about position, but about influence and impact. 

As CEO of a law firm with 1,300 employees across 23 offices, Tim has developed a philosophy that challenges traditional leadership paradigms. He believes that leadership potential exists in every individual, from the newest associate to support staff, and that growing this potential is key to organizational success. 

Ultimately everyone can learn to lead and change the trajectory of their lives.

• How to develop leadership skills regardless of your current role
• Strategies for building trust and authenticity in leadership
