The ‘IT’ Factor with Olugbenga Ajala.
In this episode of OnPeople, we sit down with Olugbenga Ajala, Partner at Wiseview Legal Consultancy and a dispute resolution expert with years of experience in litigation and arbitration.But this conversation goes far beyond law.Olugbenga walks us through his journey to becoming a Partner at Wiseview, the responsibility, the structural shifts, and the intentional rebranding required to position the firm for long term growth. He shares what it really takes to move from contributor to decision maker, and how systems, standards, and clarity become non-negotiable at that level.We also explore a pressing concern in the legal industry: the quality of emerging talent. From communication gaps to preparedness in the workplace, Olugbenga speaks candidly about the challenges he sees in young law graduates today and what must change for the profession to maintain excellence.The conversation becomes even more personal as he reflects on discipline, faith, and leadership by example, from his commitment to worship to showing up at the office by 7 am. For him, leadership isn’t loud. It’s consistent. It’s visible. It’s lived daily.If you’re interested in leadership, building strong professional standards, developing talent, and understanding what it truly takes to rise in demanding industries, this is a conversation worth sitting with.--------Visit www.thepeoplepractice.ioFollow us onX: x.com/ThePeoplePractInstagram: instagram.com/thepeoplepractice.ioLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/the-people-practice-africa
