Pharmaceutical Industry: Emerging Leaders

Overview

A leading pharmaceutical organisation came to Maximus to ensure their next generation of leaders were identified and prepared to take on the leadership challenges of a changing climate ahead.

Client objectives

To dramatically shift the performance of leaders and prepare them for the career transition ahead, Maximus partnered with this organisation to build emerging leaders capability in:

  • Self awareness
  • Leadership behaviours and capability
  • Business acumen
  • Motivation and drive
  • Cultural alignment to the organisation

 

The solution

To accelerate the emerging leader’s performance, the project involved a number of stages including:

  • Identification of high potential leaders who have the desire and capability to succeed in a management role
  • Development of a learning centre solution to challenge and ‘stretch’ participants
  • Provision of constructive and valuable development planning to facilitate individual’s ongoing development in line with their career potential
  • A framework for the organisation to assess future management potential on an ongoing basis

Given the solution is focused on future leaders, it is ongoing and is revisited each year.

 

Outcomes to date

  • High potential employees have well defined development plans in place to support them on their career journey
  • The organisation has clear insight into the capability of its next generation of leaders
  • More accurate appointment of leaders, with smoother transition into their new roles
  • Improved retention of high potential employees

 

Feedback from program attendees

One of the most energetic, passionate presentations I have seen. The presenter clearly enjoys what he does and that was translated through the whole program.
