Women Don't Do That (WDDT)

Have you ever wondered how some managers earn the respect of their team, get results and also have a reputation for being well-liked? It can seem like an impossible combination, but thankfully, it’s not. I (Myrrhanda) have been thinking a lot about this since returning to work and becoming a director, so Stephanie told me that I had to ask her former colleague, Heather, for advice. So, I did! And we made the conversation into a podcast:)
Heather Cayouette is a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/C) and the Director of Information Management at Universities Canada. She specializes in project management and leading organizational and systemic change, and she has a reputation for being an exceptionally awesome boss.
