He was telling me that he was a bit frustrated at work because the people he works with aren’t as efficient as he’d like them to be. He went on to say that management wasn’t open to making improvements, listen to new ideas or open to change. I told him that he was describing a classic leadership (you don’t have to be in charge to be a leader) problem; which is, getting people to change. It seems that whether you’re on the employee side or the employer, fundamentally, if you’re a leader, you’re always in this predicament. I shared with him that despite running our own business, we still face the “change” challenge; except this time around, it comes directly from our employees. They resist change sometimes.

Clinical Information Sharing Networks3. Clinical Decision Support4. Administrative Functions – Accounts and Patient Profile Management5. Computer Generated Prescriptions6. Better Patient Communication and CareHowever, what the practicing doctor wants in real life is quite different ! So what does the typical doctor’s list look like?1.

Over the years, I have seen too many in the life science industry, even pharma in recent years, lurch around, almost trying to figure out what they need to be doing as companies as they go along. That’s why so many fail. Let’s say you are running a small biotech or bioinformatics shop. You need to be sure what your vision is, identify the actionable milestones that you need to achieve and then figure out what you need to do to hit each milestone. It’s not just for a company. If you’re a product manager, think about your product line, and so on.
