The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model

The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model

To many people the words ‘leader’ and ‘humble’ are not natural bedfellows. Yet once they have grasped the definition most employees desire a humble leader while a majority of managers believe they already are one. What appears deceptively simple is trickier than expected. Narcissism lack of perception fixed mindsets and neuronal default settings are only a few of the stumbling blocks on the path to humility. What exactly is this sought-after humility? Humility consists of four key elements: 1) Seeing one’s own strength and weaknesses and revealing them where needed for the bigger picture; 2) Appreciating others for what they are do now and can do; 3) Being open and willing to learn; 4) Understanding that we are all only a small part of a larger picture easily replaceable and favored by luck and circumstance. Therefore humility has nothing to do with being weak or hiding the light under the bushel. Instead it is about clarity taking a step back from one’s ego and thus being able to serve the greater picture. The author’s own research with more than 3 500 managers contributes to the canon of positive effects of humility that have been measured by dozens of researchers during the last decade. Humility benefits employees (ranging from better performance more innovation stronger resilience to better client relations and stronger morals) the organization (ranging from better ambidextrous strategies a better culture to fewer sunk costs) and the managers themselves (ranging from more seen leadership potential to less stress and better relationships with employees). Dozens of case studies quotes from more than 170 interviews with top managers lively storytelling of real-life examples and solid research with actionable take-aways plus personal assessments make this an eminently readable and practical book for managers worldwide. | The Power of Humility in Leadership Influencing as a Role Model

Government Big Pharma and The People A Century of Dis-Ease

Government Big Pharma and The People A Century of Dis-Ease

Pharmaceuticals constitute a relatively small share of the total Health Care expenditure in most developed economies and yet they play a critical role in the ongoing debate over how best to advance improve and afford Health Care. Despite this and perhaps because of this the industry has had for many years an outsized claim to fame and controversy praise and criticisms and support and condemnation. Unfortunately many participants in the debate do not fully understand the complexities of the industry and its role in the overall Health Care system. The analytical tools of economics provide a strong foundation for a better understanding of the dynamics of the pharmaceutical industry its contribution to Health and Health Care and its dual and often conflicting priorities of affordability and innovation as well as the various Private and Public Policy initiatives directed at the sector. Everyone is affected by Big Pharma and the products they produce. At the Drug store the physician’s office in front of the television in everyday conversations Drugs are a part of our lives. Society shapes our values toward Drugs and Drugs shape society. (The Pill and minor tranquilizers are good examples. ) And of course the way Congress deliberates and Big Pharma responds has a huge impact on how Drugs affect our lives. This book is well-researched on the subject of the pharmaceutical industry its struggles with Government and its relationship to the consumer from the early twentieth century until the present. The Dynamic Tension between the three participants – Government Big Pharma and the People – is described and explained to lead to an understanding of the controversies that rage today. The author describes how the Government its many investigatory efforts and the ultimate legislative results affect the industry and the consequences of their activities are explored in light of their effects on other players including the patients and consumers who rely on both Government and Big Pharma for their well-being and who find sometimes unexpected consequences while giving special attention to the attitudes beliefs and misadventures of less-than-optimal Drug use. Stakeholders are identified with physicians as a major focus as well as describing the significance of prescriptions as social objects and the processes by which physicians make choices on behalf of their patients. The author ties it all together with how Big Pharma affects and is affected by each of these groups. The author utilizes his 50-plus years’ experience as an academic practicing pharmacist and Big Pharma employee to describe the scope of the pharmaceutical industry and how it affects us on a daily basis concluding with an inside look at Big Pharma and how regulations marketing and the press have affected their business both good and bad. | Government Big Pharma and The People A Century of Dis-Ease
