In Part 1 of a live episode recording of Built to Lead, hosts Hannah and Matthew sit down with Ru Taggar, Executive Vice President and Chief Nursing and Health Professions Executive at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, to explore what it means to lead authentically through a nonlinear career from the bedside to the boardroom.
Ru shares her journey from emergency department nurse to senior hospital executive, emphasizing how self-awareness, curiosity, and intentional decision-making shaped her career. She reflects on the power of choosing when to “stand up” and when to “sit out,” offering personal examples, like intentionally passing on CEO opportunities to prioritize alignment with her values and life stage.
Listeners will gain insight into:
- How self-awareness and curiosity can organically guide career transitions.
- The importance of lateral growth over upward titles in building leadership skills.
- Why resisting conventional expectations can lead to deeper fulfillment and impact.
- How women and equity-deserving groups can create safe spaces and networks to navigate leadership with confidence.
- The role of vulnerability and storytelling in shaping authentic leadership.
Ru’s honesty and wisdom offer encouragement for emerging and experienced leaders alike, especially those navigating career transitions or questioning the traditional leadership ladder.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where Ru expands on mentorship, equity in leadership, and how she’s creating networks of support for women leaders at Sunnybrook.
