En la última edición de 𝗟𝗜𝗥 Panamá y Perú, presentamos una columna de 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗼 () , Legal Manager, quien reflexiona sobre el giro necesario hacia un liderazgo resonante y el impacto de la gestión emocional en el ejercicio del derecho.

La autora plantea que el rol del gerente legal moderno trasciende el dominio técnico y jurídico para centrarse en la conducción emocional de las personas. Mago Franco enfatiza que la efectividad de un líder no reside solo en la estrategia, sino en el autoconocimiento y la capacidad de generar estados de ánimo positivos, resonancia, que potencien la productividad y mejoren el entorno organizacional.

Finalmente, destaca que el lenguaje y la empatía son herramientas fundamentales para transformar la percepción histórica de la abogacía. Al integrar la compasión y la conciencia en la gestión de equipos, es posible construir un ejercicio profesional más humano y un círculo virtuoso que beneficie tanto a la organización como a la sociedad en su conjunto.
