085 Inside the General Counsel’s Office – an Interview with Erin Wilson Part 2 of a Two-Part Interview

In this episode, Christina Martini and Erin Wilson discuss:

• Relationships and interactions with C-Suite and the board.
• The power of clear, intentional communication. 
• The similarities between being a GC and being the lead singer in a rock band.
• Working with outside counsel for an alignment of goals.

 

Key Takeaways:

• You have to recognize the communication styles of those you work with and know your audience.
• There will be times you have to say “I don’t know, but I will find out for you.”
• There are nuances to what different outside counsels can offer. Be willing to shop around to find the right fit for your company and needs.
• Be as forthright as you can, but be a human being. 

 

“There are times you must trust your gut – you’ve got to go with the internal. If something’s telling you it’s not right, look into it. Keep checking.” — Erin Wilson
