Karen Czarnecki on Constructive Criticism

This week’s special guest on the Liberty + Leadership Podcast is vice president for Outreach for the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Karen Czarnecki ’88. Karen is not only a TFAS alumna, she is also a professor at TFAS. She teaches the internship seminar on public policy and international affairs – an interactive seminar that examines the practical side of the workplace. In this week’s episode, Roger and Karen discuss how her TFAS experience helped her get a job in the White House, the inner workings of the Department of Labor, her time as Chief of Staff to a member of Congress, and the importance of listening to constructive criticism.
