Buy Practical Leadership for Pharmaceutical Executives from Amazon

The biohealthcare executive in upper-middle management confronts leadership challenges unique to their industry: they manage highly specialized knowledge workers and innovators, compete at the speed of technology, work in a highly regulated environment where 'free speech' often does not apply due to patient safety and privacy concerns, and increasingly are leading virtual teams who may be located in different parts of the world.

This book is a guide that strips away the theory and meets head-on the practical leadership challenges these executives face on a daily basis, and provides these 'innovator leaders' with the tools to lead effectively in the face of technological complexity.

This book supports the idea that 'leadership' is a phenomenon created through interdependent and distinct variables in the situation, the person, and the person's ability to appropriately respond to the situation. Leadership is not the result of a 'list of traits' and getting a certain score in a psychometric test is no guarantee of leadership behavior, although biopharmaceutical executives may find that lists and tests can be useful tools in their own leadership development.
