Abstract:
|
Pharmaceutical industry statisticians are facing significant challenges to our profession, including increased demand on our skills due to greater business constraints (time, resources), increased regulatory complexity, and adversarial medical publication and media environments. Thus, there is a pronounced need for effective statistical leaders to ensure that statisticians and statistical organizations continue to thrive and remain relevant. While good technical skill is a necessary attribute of a statistical leader, it is not, and never has been, a sufficient attribute. In this talk, I will discuss key attributes of effective statistical leadership, provide some examples of current gaps, and offer a few recommendations for how statisticians can develop these leadership skills.
