Leadership for Pharmacists: Moving Towards Strategic Roles in the Pharmaceutical Industry

By Nsovo N. Mayimele

This book provides a toolkit of leadership skills for pharmacists wishing to take more strategic roles within the pharmaceutical industry, outlining a range of ten competencies through which their existing technical knowledge can be elevated to offer managerial as well as pharmaceutical expertise.

Written in response to the lack of pharmacists in leading roles within the pharmaceutical industry, each chapter explores a different leadership skill, and how these can be applied. The skills include emotional intelligence, teamwork, integrity, selfless service, communication and relationship management. Supported by interviews with senior figures within the pharmaceutical industry, this book suggests that pharmacists themselves have the capacity to play an important, progressive role in leading these organisations and improving patient care.

This book will interest students and researchers of pharmacy, leadership and industry studies, as well as pharmacists practising today.
