Caffeinators, many of us "end up" in management in some fashion-head technician, supervisor, shift lead, etc, but is that really a path that interests you or is it something you do to fill a need, or perhaps earn an extra shift differential?

For this episode, Leslie Boudreau, BASVT, RVTg, CVPM, PHR, PHRca, SPHR, came by the Vet Tech Cafe to talk not just about management, but the path to that. Leslie is an RVTg (she
