General counsel have what it takes to make it to leadership roles in the C-suite, according to a new report. In fact, they outpace all other non-CEO C-suite execs when it comes to some leadership attributes. That said, there are certain other characteristics important to ascending the corporate ladder that GCs may be lacking.

Executive leadership firm Heidrick & Struggles released Tuesday its first-ever “What Today's General Counsel Looks Like As a Leader” report. In putting the results together, the firm looked at eight statistically distinct leadership styles that are common among business leaders. Based on research involving more than 14,000 senior executives from around the globe, the eight styles explored in the report are: harmonizer, forecaster, pilot, collaborator, energizer, provider, producer and composer.

The report then assessed how more than 500 legal professionals stack up when it comes to these leadership styles, in order to help GCs more effectively lead and to offer insight for other execs looking to assess in-house attorneys.
