How Leaders Describe a Typical Day at Work

Legal Counsel/Compliance Officer ,

Advanced Workplace Strategies, Inc.

I respond to email first thing in the morning, review pending orders that are escalated to me, and work on special projects for the President of my company. Mixed in throughout I will talk to the HR directors of our clients (some Fortune 500 companies) and handle any other internal issues. Every day is different.

Compliance Manager ,

Capital One

I'm on the phone in meetings most of the day, jumping from topic to topic and call to call- sometimes with no chance to even jot down my takeaway notes! But a good day is really one that makes my head spin! When I'm able to positively impact someone- educate them on risks or help find a workable solution, I'm happy!
