Abstract:

One of the best-selling books this decade, authored by Stephen Covey, highlighted the seven habits of highly effective people. While these seven habits build effectiveness in working with people, playing an effective and influential leadership role in pharmaceutical industry needs more than that. This is an industry that lives by scientific data and multidisciplinary talents. No individual owns the solution, and the statistician is not the only scientist who knows how to analyze and turn data into knowledge. Collaboration is the key to creating impact. An effective leader who knows how to stimulate such collaboration must have E cubed: emotion, energy, and edge. Together with the seven habits, a visionary and passionate leader inspires others to find their voices and clearly see their worth and potential to achieve a collaboration with much higher energy and impact.
