The Legal Business: Leadership learning that CAMs Chairman, Cyril Shroff highlighted in an interview with ET

• The firm’s purpose is clear: to produce exemplary lawyers for justice.
• Secondly, in a people-oriented industry, leading with empathy is essential. While intellect is vital, building an institution primarily requires emotional intelligence. Institutions, be they businesses or professional firms like Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, are built on an emotional foundation. Creating emotional bonds fosters loyalty and commitment.
• Thirdly, leaders must embrace adversity. Borrowing from Hindu mythology, Shroff references the tale of Shiva drinking poison emphasising that leaders must absorb daily challenges and exhibit resilience.
• Leading entails shouldering the system’s pressures and navigating through good and bad times.
• Fourthly, for an institution to thrive over time, it must adapt continually. Constant evolution ensures relevance and competitiveness. An organisation remains dominant and pertinent by consistently innovating, in the same manner, the iconic journey of Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas transitioning from the pre-Independence era to the post-Independence India and through the evolving times of today echoes a persistent drive to remain relevant to the evolving ethos and sentiments of the times.
