A few weeks ago, HBA Central New Jersey and Bristol Myers Squibb held a networking and fireside chat event with BMS's Adam Lenkowsky, Chief Commercialization Officer, and Wendy Short Bartie, SVP of U.S. Oncology and Hematology, where they discussed creating a culture of advocacy, inclusion and growth at BMS’s Princeton Pike location.
Adam and Wendy shared insightful experiences and perspectives on the role of leveraging your network as you continuously create and cultivate it.
Key Takeaways:
Be excellent, be risky, and be political - This means excelling in your role, taking risks outside your scope, and networking with the right people.
Sponsors VS Mentors - Sponsors see you shine and advocate for you, while mentors can see you fail and help you dust yourself off for the next one.
Action Steps:
In addition to identifying and working against Microaggressions, employ what Wendy calls "Microlifts", small chances to lift others by mentioning their success, performance, or impacts.
Diversity is making numbers; Inclusion is making numbers count.
A huge thank you to BMS for sponsoring and hosting this event and the BMS and HBA CNJ teams who made it happen!
