Dr. Erinn Tucker-Oluwole, Dept. Chair, Hospitality & Tourism Management, University of Maryland

Erinn shares how involvement in an association taught her about true leadership and the importance of increasing listening skills and developing patience.  She also explains why learning her bosses’ priorities and preferred ways of working, early on in a job, helps advance her career – and that it’s more important to be effective than to be right.  Erinn explains how creating her own platform gave her the ability to be seen and perceived differently – and confidently advocate for herself.
