Leadership Skills for
Pharmaceutical Professionals
Working in the Pharmaceutical and Device industries has become
increasingly challenging and fast moving. Previously, excellence
in technical areas would have guaranteed a successful career. In
future, to develop and even sustain your career you almost certainly
will need to gain and build your leadership skills in order to perform
in your existing role or to gain promotion. Technical skills alone are
unlikely to do this. Have you or your manager identified this need for
you?
As companies turn more towards team working, both in departmental and
multi-functional teams to maximise an organisation’s performance
pharmaceutical employers are now looking for people who can genuinely
lead their staff, departments, projects and organisations to success.
Leadership skills are an extremely valuable commodity and need to be
learned (rarely are they naturally acquired). As a leader you are
expected to inspire vision, develop commitment, retain staff and lead
your team/department/organisation to achieve outstanding performance,
thus advancing your career.
This comprehensive course will introduce you to the core concepts of
what makes an excellent leader - and in the context of the
pharmaceutical industry - and how to apply the different skills of
leading your staff or teams in order to maximise results. You will
become competent and familiar in a range of well recognised leadership
techniques which you will then go on to use on a daily basis when you
return to the workplace, enabling you to perform at a higher level. Available both in-house and as a public programme.
Topics covered include:
- Understanding Leadership and what pharma, and device organisations are
looking for from leaders
- Apply leadership to set your strategic direction
- Developing your leadership style to a higher level
- Learn how successful leaders communicate and use mission, vision and
values to motivate and build commitment – and do this yourself
- Leading and developing your team, department and organisation relevant
to today’s pharmaceutical business needs
- Leading successful change
- Leading projects teams
- Pharmaceutical case studies throughout
This course, designed specifically for the pharmaceutical, healthcare
and device industries, will be relevant for you if you have, or are soon
to be, appointed to a leadership role, or to existing leaders and
managers who wish to enhance their leadership skills to a higher level
as well as professionals aspiring to a leadership or management role.
