SAL unveils leadership playbook for legal professionals

It provides frameworks, tools, and resources for practitioners across all career stages and roles.

The Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) has launched its Legal Leadership Playbook to strengthen leadership skills across the legal sector.

The guide has been endorsed by the Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI).

It sets out frameworks, tools, and resources intended for use by legal professionals at different career stages and across various roles.

Developed with input from legal and leadership practitioners, it is positioned to support both new managers and senior executives.

The material draws on existing leadership content, including SAL’s Legal Leadership Programme run with INSEAD and courses led by Professor Patrick Gibbons, a visiting professor at Nanyang Business School.

SAL describes the Playbook as a “living document” and is inviting contributions from across the legal sector, including groups such as the Law Society of Singapore and the Singapore Corporate Counsel Association, to add case studies and practical insights in future versions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
