As an outsider, seems like a company selling Round Up, seeds, cancer medicine, and Alka-Seltzer under the same company could be an issue. Would have thought they would spin off at least one business line to try and improve focus in Pharma

But need to execute and really give people the empowerment and grant of authority to make decisions. Otherwise it likely won’t work because everyone will sit at the table looking at someone else to make a decision.
& even when there is that one bold team member who is willing to make a decision, people still dont want to follow it
Educate, equip, empower

Agree with it in principe (less layers, more distributed control, etc) but also read they are aiming for 15:1 Employee to Manager ratio and that is nutz

like

Smh - 15:1 employee to manager ratio also impedes business results because one manager cannot develop and grow 15 people unless the appropriate group training and leadership sessions are implemented

It’s just cost cutting. 15:1 ratio is crazy. 6-8:1 is the proven optimal for management reporting

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
