Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture — brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network, the audio destination for business professionals.
Hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott, this is your Thursday deep-dive with a workplace expert.

🎙️ This Week’s Guest: Tim Lupinacci

He runs a law firm with hundreds of employees across the U.S. — and he’s doing it by flipping traditional leadership on its head.

Tim Lupinacci is the CEO and Chair of Baker Donelson, a 130-year-old U.S. law firm. But unlike the archetype of a power-hungry managing partner, Tim leads through vulnerability, service, and personal values.

In this conversation, Tim shares how he’s built a culture of trust and transparency in a sector that’s famously high-pressure, high-burnout, and historically low on empathy. Expect real-world lessons on humility, motivation, and leading with impact in complex, change-resistant environments.

💡 Key Takeaways from Tim Lupinacci

  • Service is power.
    Tim explains why true leadership means removing barriers — not issuing commands.

  • Vulnerability builds trust.
    By showing up as a real human, Tim found his team became more loyal, engaged, and resilient.

  • Law firms don’t have to be toxic.
    Culture change is possible — even in legacy-driven sectors — when leaders go first.
