Bruce McEwan, on his blog Adam Smith, Esq, posted the results of a survey distributed recently by Edge International (but not to be found on their web site), of the results of Edge's short survey of law firm leaders asking them to name the law firm leaders they most admire. What is most interesting is that the most-admired leader is the same one named in The American Lawyer's survey of law firm leaders - Bob Dell of Latham & Watkins. The honor was mentioned in TAL's December issue, along with other results and stories related to leaders' outlook for the year to come.
Tied for second were Regina Pisa, Chairman and Managing Partner of Goodwin Procter and Lee Miller, Joint Chief Executive Officer of DLA Piper. McEwan's post then focuses on the attributes that respondents felt the "most-admired" had that made them admirable leaders. He also mentioned the 10 runners-up in Edge's "Most-Admired" survey:
Ben F. Johnson, III: Managing Partner, Alston & Bird
Cesar Alvarez: President & CEO, Greenberg Traurig
Bob Odle (retired): Managing Partner, Hogan & Hartson
Patrick McCartan (also retired): Managing Partner, Jones Day
Ralph Baxter: Chairman & CEO, Orrick
T. Kennedy Helm, III: Firm Chairman, Stites & Harbison,
Keith Vaughan: Chair & Managing Member, Womble Carlyle
