Lessons From A New CEO (with Tara Wong)

07/24/19 • 21 min

Not that there's anything wrong with interviewing dogs, but this week we are back with a real, live, person! Joining Emily today is Tara Wong, Chief Executive Officer of Oakville Public Library. Emily and Tara discuss the importance of using your network, asking for help, and how to adjust to the added pressures and responsibilities that come with leadership. And how even when you've made it to the top, you may still have to fight for your parking space.
