𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒

I’m Danny Langloss, and like you, I’ve spent the past 20 years on the front lines leading in the trenches. Throughout this time, I’ve learned that leadership is not for the faint of heart. It’s complex and challenging.

As a detective sergeant, I had to keep my team motivated and empowered despite the burnout caused by long hours and traumatic incidents. We created a resilient team that consistently outperformed their peers and were energized to serve victims and their families.

When I was promoted to police chief, I inherited a toxic and divided culture. Through vision, listening, clear expectations, and strong leadership, we created an inclusive culture and became one of the most desired places to work in the region.

Later, as the City Manager, I joined a fractured and siloed team that lacked purpose, connection, and direction. Within months, we created a team united through purpose, fully committed to delivering their best for our community. Today, this team is guided by the values of “Commitment to Excellence” and “Here to Serve.”

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘:

We believe leadership is the driving force behind meaningful impact. Great leadership transforms vision into reality, overcomes challenges, and inspires others to succeed. It shapes not only the goals we achieve but also the quality of life and success of those we lead, making leadership development more critical now than ever.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗗𝗢:

We help leaders unlock their competitive advantage, THEIR PEOPLE. We train and empowers leaders to create cultures where psychological safety, belonging, purpose, and ownership thrive. We do this by integrating proven leadership mindsets, principles, and strategies grounded in authenticity, connection, and impact and equips leaders with the skills to bring these things to life.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐄 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐓:

We bring our purpose to life through executive coaching, transformative workshops, long-term leadership programs, keynote speeches, and the Leadership Excellence Podcast.

After 22 years at the podium—defending legal cases, training global teams, speaking on panels, and showing up on livestreams and stages, my approach to preparation is still evolving.

It’s no longer about memorizing talking points or trying to impress. It’s about something far more sustainable: clarity and connection.

My prep ritual, 2025 edition:

--> Forget Memorization. Focus on Meaning. Instead of drilling bullet points, I review my notes for clarity. What’s the core message? Am I making it simple for myself—and my audience—to grasp what matters most?

--> Reframe key points into questions.This subtle shift moves my mindset from “delivering a monologue” to sparking a true conversation.

--> Visualize the audience. Before going live, I picture the audience: professionals tuning in between calls, listeners multitasking, skeptics who’ve heard it all. What are they tired of hearing? What would actually surprise or serve them right now?

--> Remind myself: My goal isn’t to perform. It’s to contribute something useful—even if just a single new insight or moment of clarity.

This isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about knowing what matters.

How do you prepare for moments when you need to show up and be heard?

Chief of Staff to CEO | Driving AI + LegalTech Innovation | Employment Attorney | 2X TEDx Speaker

What a GC told me at #SFTechWeek stuck with me:“I know exactly what I need. I just can’t find a firm that will deliver it the way I need it delivered.”

Here’s the truth no one wants to admit:
Clients tell us what they want.
We listen. We nod. We say “I understand.”
And then we go back to business as usual: the same playbook, with tweaks around the edges.

Why? Because change is hard. And the gap between client need and what we actually deliver? It’s not shrinking. It’s getting wider.

Here’s what’s changed:

1️⃣ ALSPs like ZentLaw aren’t playing by old rules. They’re rebuilding legal delivery from scratch... with decades of experience, transparency, tech, and user experience at the center.

2️⃣ In-house teams are far better at using technology than most firms. They’re keeping work inside because they can.

3️⃣ Client patience has run out. The pandemic proved lawyers can work differently. 

So, where do we go from here? Our panelists shared deep insights into this question. Link in comments with more details.

It’s NOT about making every lawyer a technologist or project manager. 

We have to start designing services around what our clients need, not what’s convenient for us.

Questions we should ask every day:

- How does this client make decisions?

- What format makes our advice instantly useful?

- How do we deliver answers—faster?

- How do we give clients total visibility into what’s happening, not just the final result?

- What if we built our offering today, from zero?

Sometimes, that means saying no to work that doesn’t fit.  

It means growing up as a profession... meeting the market where it is, instead of clinging to where it was 30 years ago.

Bigger legal teams ≠ guaranteed better results.
Longer billable hours ≠ higher impact.

Here’s what recent data suggests:

-->Law firms saw profits per lawyer rise 8.3% YoY ✅️ even as average billable hours continued to decline.

--> In-house legal teams now support 120 FTEs per attorney (up from 109 in 8 months), showing how the right mix of expertise, process, and technology can increase the value delivered per lawyer.

--> Research shows 63% of legal work is routine or standardized 📶 opening space for innovation, process improvement, and greater use of talent where it matters most.

Of course, not all work can be automated or scaled—nuanced advice, advocacy, and counsel will always matter. 💯

But the data is clear: teams that rethink how they leverage expertise—not just add headcount or hours—can achieve greater, more sustainable impact.

Would you double your legal team’s impact if you could? 🤔 

Stop measuring hours. Start measuring impact. If you want to see how expertise at scale works, DM me —let’s chat.
