In conversation with Johan Koggink, Kim Tan, Managing Partner at Baker McKenzie Amsterdam, reflects on the shift underway. Leadership is evolving; from directing to enabling, and towards a more human, connected approach grounded in trust, clarity and creating space for others to grow.

It’s about creating the conditions where others can do their best work.” Alongside these reflections, Kim responds to questions from students affiliated with of Utrecht Law College Sirius, including: "What has been your greatest challenge so far?"
