TRUST is the key…

In my first few months as the General Manager of Takeda Pharma Austria, I've embarked on a journey guided by three foundational pillars: people, culture, and the business. Each pillar holds its own significance, but it's the people—the heartbeat of our organization—that I find most captivating and impactful.   Exploring the intricate tapestry of individuals within our team has been nothing short of enlightening. From diverse backgrounds to unique skill sets, every member brings a story worth hearing and talents waiting to be unleashed. It's within these personal narratives that the true essence of our organization resides, fostering collaboration, prioritization, and performance.   As we navigate our teams journey towards continued high-performance, I am continually inspired by the wealth of potential and passion I encounter daily. The journey is dynamic, with challenges and triumphs alike, but it's the unwavering dedication and camaraderie among our team that fuels our progress. Together, we're not just shaping a company—we're fostering a culture of excellence and growth.   And amidst the hustle and bustle of leadership, I find solace and joy in the simple act of getting to know and understand each member of our team. It's a privilege—one that I don't take lightly. Their aspirations, struggles, and dreams fuel my determination to lead with empathy, integrity, and purpose.   So here's to the countless stories yet to be told, the milestones waiting to be achieved, and the bonds waiting to be forged. Here's to the relentless pursuit of excellence and the unwavering belief in the power of our people. Together, we're not just charting a course for success—we're redefining what it means to thrive as a team.   #LeadershipJourney #HighPerformanceTeams #TakedaAustria

Such an inspiring story from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany 👇 on several levels: * "Business Growth cannot be separated from People Growth" * how an enterprise-wide Skill initiative unearthed disparate initiatives going on across the org * how upskilling encouraged an employee to Stand Up and Step Forward! 💕

What is most important? Having the highest market cap? Having the strongest sales growth? Or being the best place to work? If you asked a bunch of leaders which they preferred, you might get a few different answers or at least a few saying, “Why not all three?” And I would also say, all those metrics are important, but if I had to choose, I would go for best place to work. The foundation for sustainable success in business is built on a company’s culture and the engagement of its employees. Everything else, whether it’s innovation, outperforming competition, share price, growth, all of it is dependent on good people feeling good about going to work. After all, how can a company research and develop the most effective molecules, produce them efficiently, and market them to those in need better than its competitors, without having the most engaged employees across the value chain? Let me put it this way. I can imagine most colleagues wouldn’t know the daily fluctuations of our share price or our exact market share. But they will know at all times how they feel about the company and its future and if they’re positive, that can only benefit Novo Nordisk and our patients. That’s why I am proud today that we have once again been selected as the Best Place to Work in the World. It is just one ranking of course and these things are always debatable. But it is good to know that something I have believed for 31 years, that Novo Nordisk is a special place to work, has been validated by others from the outside looking in. A big thank you to all my colleagues who make our culture and “Novo Nordisk Way live each day through your passion and your dedication. This was yet another belated 100 year birthday present for our company! And to those of you who read this from outside Novo Nordisk: if you are talented at what you do, if you have a desire to make a real impact, and if you have a passion for patients and innovation, why not come work with us if the opportunity presents itself? Our doors are always open…

🎆✨ Once again, sticking with the smaller biotech and General Management theme, it was a pleasure to welcome Mitsunori Ogawa into the 🍽 #50lunches50leaders club 🎆✨. Upon graduation 🎓, Ogawa-san entered Sanofi and over the next dozen years, held down roles in field sales, Business Development and Marketing Planning. This also included a 2️⃣ year stint in Global Business Development at their New Jersey 🇺🇸 office. A move to Amgen came along next where he remained just over a year in a Business Planning & Analysis 📊 Manager role. Shifting to a rare diseases focus, Genzyme was next to present an opportunity as Director, Strategy & Business Development, this is where he stayed for just shy of 6️⃣ years. Ironically, also experiencing the acquisition by Sanofi and essentially 'boomerang-ing' 🔁 back to his first pharma employer! With Gilead Sciences jumping into the Japan 🇯🇵 market, Ogawa-san saw an opportunity to be a part of something special 💫 and was hired as the first commercial member in this new market. As Senior Director, Commercial Operations, over the course of 7.5 years he built out their commercial organisation to 30+ headcount and oversaw numerous successful product 🚀 launches 🚀. Having accumulated a ton of business acumen , it was the expected path that Ogawa-san would soon be targeting GM-level roles and that is where his career has 🛬 landed the past 2️⃣ companies. First as General Manager at Fresenius Kabi 🇩🇪 where for just over 2 years he banked a nice range of knowledge in the biopharma, medical technologies and generic areas. To now, his current home 🏡, the new-market entrant from Finland 🇫🇮, Orion Corporation. As of February, Ogawa-san's role as Country Manager will be to establish the Japanese entity and build ⚒ out their R&D and commercial organisations.  "I believe my communication style can be described as transparent and consistent. If my messaging 💬 is clear, this will ensure my members can move forward quickly with a clear mind. Even when working for larger companies, I've always liked leading small/agile teams where there is a key focus on speed 🏎. Secondly, I think the ability to show empathy is one of the most important traits in leading. On my own journey 🚶♂️, starting as a Medical Representative and progressing all the way through to General Management, has seen me experience all types of roles at varying levels.  I think tapping into these memories 💭 can help me better understand and relate to situations that my members bring forward to me." Thanks for jumping on the 'great success' train 🚂 Ogawa-san and sharing these valuable insights. 👍👍 Best of luck to you in building out Orion Corporation in the Japanese market for 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ and beyond! #50lunches50leaders #lunchandlearn #leader #leadershipdevelopment #leaderscreateleaders #mindset #inspire #motivate #effectivecommunication #pharmaceutical #healthcare #greatsuccess

Ending the week? or starting a new one? While we all look forward for the weekend to unwind, collect our thoughts and come fresh for the next week. We train ourselves at Octapharma Canada to always look for new beginnings. For many people Friday is about ticking the box on a long list of things achieved during the week, we like to see it slightly differently. Planning is a crucial part of our thinking process and we focus on what's ahead. Our team sees the value in this as it helps them stay proactive and know what to expect in the coming week, month, quarter ..etc., it increases their productivity and allows them to learn from past experiences. We are curious to know how your teams stay focused on their future goals? #planning #proactivemindset #productivity

✨What makes a team successful?✨   🧚♀️According to me (but would love to hear your thoughts), it relies on sharing strong & common values, developing diverse competences & skills and being able to collaborate. This latter being sometimes not an easy task, especially when you value diversity!    🤓Yesterday, during our off-site team building at Novartis, we had the chance to increase our self-awareness on work-style preferences (Globesmart) and discussed/analyzed our profiles thanks to the different workshops led successfully by Maja Livic on team dynamics (Thank you!).    🧠It was fascinating to deep dive into my colleagues’ personality, especially when you finally understand the “why” behind some previous confusing situations due to miscommunication (collaborating with an “indirect” colleague while having a “direct” work style for instance 🙄 - clearly a “aha” moment). This workshop gave us some perspectives & tips on how to bridge our differences.    🫶It was a very fun & insightful day (perfect combo) and made us stronger (is it even possible? 😇)   Mélanie Affa (thank you for the initiative!), Marenne Vereecken, GAFAR VICTOIR COULIDIATY, Ikra Khan, Katrien Allewaert, Clàudia Masós Torró, Kim Van Dam, Joke Buysse, Anne De Pauw, Shauni Van Bouchaute, Henk Vanmassenhove, Elodie Chambre, Anne-Catherine Lambert, Charlotte Sougné, Florence Defoin, Jonathan CHISIN, Julien Neutelings, Sofie Restiaen, Laetitia Toth, Gitta Huysegoms Mohamad Zaher Our strength lies in our differences

How many of you actually douse yourself in cologne before stepping into a virtual meeting...Hah! Yesterday morning I went with my trusty Scuderia Ferrari cologne to deliver a keynote to the senior leaders of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, an amazing 7,700 person company whose mission is to make healthy possible, which includes elevating people and communities. Yesterday, we gathered to celebrate the amazing launch of their employee recognition program. In a world where Growth outpaces Gratitude, this recognition program is more than just a platform; it's a step towards further embedding appreciation into the DNA of Amneal. It's about acknowledging that our biggest achievements aren't the products we create or the markets we expand into, but the people who make it all happen. The people on the front line. The people in our R&D. The drivers that bring our products directly to the customer and patient. We spent the keynote discussing our five strategic steps for authentic recognition: •Slow down •Commit to service •Turn on the empathetic brain •Double click on the positive •Connect your community. When we spend time appreciating others, we also discover the richness of our own lives. To the amazing team at Amneal, thank you for embracing this journey. To everyone reading this, remember: in a world that often prioritizes speed and results, the most impactful thing we can do is slow down into the present, and recognize and give gratitude to those around us. It’s quite simple: I see you, I hear you, I value you. Thank you. Thank you to Anne Haumacher, Steve Sost, Michelle Lembo, and Chris Daly for inviting me in! Big thanks to Adam Smiley Poswolsky for introducing us to this amazing company. What's your favorite way of recognizing your people in your org or life? #EmployeeRecognition #Leadership #Gratitude #Pharmaceuticals #AmnealPharmaceuticals #MakingHealthyPossible #employeeengagement #GratitudeExperience663
