The rapid pace of change, which began in 2020 is unrelenting and ongoing. The high-stakes game has made many pharma leaders play defensive, instead of using the crisis to bring in the much-needed transformational changes.
Leaders continue to rely on the traditional time-tested strategies, so that they can avoid the embarrassment of ‘losing’ in this high-stakes game. Most prefer to keep doing something they know to do well. We all like to do what we are good at, and are comfortable with. Most leaders are happy to be ‘nest-building’ and remain in their comfort zones.
There are several research findings, suggesting that to make the transition successfully, leaders must navigate a tricky set of changes in their leadership focus and skills.
Here are the seven shifts that leaders must understand and adapt:
- Move from, Specialist to Generalist
- Analyst to Integrator
- Tactician to Strategist
- Bricklayer to Architect
- Problem solver to Agenda setter
- Warrior to Diplomat, and
- Supporting cast member to the Lead role
