[MG100] week 20.38 Remembering a Brilliant Giant
The passing of Ruth Bader Ginsberg
I am in mourning. I am in awe.
RBG inspired so many people in palpable ways. She put her ego aside to empathize with her adversaries which enabled her to understand them, so they could understand her. She was committed to justice and delivered it.
She was a leader.
It’s hard to imagine today but not so long ago, women were considered as the weaker sex and were discriminated against but no-one could prove why this mattered legally. She used empathy to understand men and to get men to understand, they too can be discriminated against. As Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, hosts of RadioLab, conclude her secret weapon was Empathy: More Perfect: Sex Appeal | Radiolab | WNYC Studios
“These guys are gonna understand if their group gets discriminated against. I’m gonna have to live in their heads. Before I take them out of their heads. Do something in their heads by shaping the world around them.”
I find hope and inspiration when I see how RBG informed and impacted my daughter to see what is possible and by the legacy she left that will live on with so many. May her memory be a blessing and an inspiration

Alex Lazurus: Global Research Project – Leadership in the Legal Profession
Leadership legacy alone, traditionally etched in long-term business achievements, can now be defined in moments and is increasingly shaped by the expectations of the leader’s humanness judged in carefully watched day-to-day interactions.
The eyes are now firmly fixed on leaders whose role and vision, in times of crisis, underpins how their followers make sense and meaning of their reality. Legal leaders are not exempt. If anything, they occupy a central vantage point with multiple perspectives including being a team leader and a C-Suite influencer and a trusted advisor. With their unique positioning and knowledge, should the legal leaders play a more active and strategic role in the process of the organizational transformation? What thought leadership, leadership competencies and behaviors do they ought to champion and embody to influence in the new normal? What kind of leaders must they be to have motivated, resilient and empowered teams? What does the future require of them to rise up to? These and other questions are the foci of the research and the Leading with Influence Report. Global Research Project – Leadership in the Legal Profession | Lazarus & Maverick
And, as always, thank you, Marshall, for making all of this possible
With love and gratitude
