Episode tip

"I think that when we are in meetings and groups, [we need to make more of] an effort to ensure that everybody's ideas really get a chance and that when somebody junior [...] comes up with a good idea, to make sure that person gets the credit or the recognition for it." - Neena Gupta, Partner at Gowling WLG
