Whether it’s achieving new career milestones, serving as volunteer leaders in TMA, or supporting one another in their mutual goal of advancing women in the industry, these members are constantly raising the bar for TMA.
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Angela Allen, Jenner & Block (TMA Chicago/Midwest).
Angela is a Partner in the Restructuring & Bankruptcy group of Jenner & Block’s Chicago office, where she focuses her practice on complex bankruptcy litigation, corporate restructuring, and investigations. Angela served as the 2020 President of the Chicago/Midwest chapter and has also served in leadership positions at the global level, including participating in this year’s Chapter Resource & Response Committee.
Angela recently shared her thoughts with us on what makes a good leader.
“I recently read a book called ‘Leaders Eat Last’ by Simon Sinek based on the military tradition of officers eating only after their soldiers were fed: ‘Leaders are the ones who are willing to give up something of their own for us. Their time, their energy, their money, maybe even the food off their plate. When it matters, leaders choose to eat last.’ You would be surprised how often ‘leaders’ in this industry are unwilling to share the spotlight with other members of their team, whether in a pitch, in court, in the client relationship, or in celebrating successes more broadly. True leaders create more leaders,” she emphasized.
We’re #TMAProud of Angela’s commitment to being a strong leader in the TMA community!
