In this episode of Shortlisted, we sit down with William Peake, Global Managing Partner of Harneys, to explore what it really means to lead out loud.
William shares how bad management shaped his leadership style, why emotional intelligence will outpace technical brilliance in the age of AI, and what the service sector can teach lawyers about communication and managing expectations. He explains how he’s used LinkedIn to amplify Harneys’ global growth—from Dubai to Asia—build brand awareness, attract top talent, and spark honest conversations about bullying, culture, and accountability.
