Learning from setbacks: Dan and Nina discuss Vas Narasimhan

On this episode of This is Working (recorded prior to the devastating wildfires in Canada and the subsequent smog affecting the Northeastern US), our hosts chat about Dan’s conversation with Vas Narasimhan, the CEO of Novartis, who navigated the pharmaceutical giant through a major drug recall and some tumultuous times. Dan and Nina reflect on the importance of finding support when under intense pressure, whether fairness or unfairness play a role at work, and what it means to be a Chief Energy Officer. Nina and Dan offer their own insights and opinions - and we’re eager to hear yours as well.
