Guest Rick Graham joins host Mike Tannenbaum in this episode of "Should I Stay or Should I Go?". When it comes to Risk Management, Rick can most certainly be described as a maven. As the Chief Risk Officer of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, the nation's 6th largest provider of Public Transportation, Rick leads a team of 10 Risk Management Professionals responsible for the Authority's treatment of risk, management of employee injury claims, plus the oversight of a comprehensive vocational rehabilitation program. He also currently serves as the Vice President of the Delaware Valley Chapter of RIMS and has over 20 years of experience within the Risk Sector. In this episode, key discussion points that your host Mike Tannenbaum and Rick cover include: how challenging the current circumstances are for Risk Managers (especially at a major transport authority), how Rick made the leap into his current role as Chief Risk Officer at SEPTA and why working for the CFO was a "game-changer" for his career in this respect, how and what to communicate to the board when time is precious, how to manage and keep high performers engaged, plus the importance of developing and managing your own brand as a Risk Manager - which can ultimately help you decide whether you should stay in a role or if you should go.
