Leadership Solutions
Developing confident and capable frontline leaders.
The challenge
What this solution addresses
The step from top representative to Area Business Manager is the largest in a pharmaceutical career, and usually the least supported. Selling skill does not transfer automatically into coaching, planning and people management.
What is included
The services in this solution
Area Business Manager (ABM) Excellence
Our flagship program, built around the five competency domains that define the role.
Leadership development
Structured development for first-line and second-line leaders, aligned to the career stage they are actually at.
Coaching & mentoring
Building the coaching capability of managers, so development happens in the field every week rather than annually in a workshop.
Team building & motivation
Practical approaches to building trust, alignment and discretionary effort in dispersed field teams.
Performance & business planning
Data-driven decision-making: reading the numbers, setting the priorities and holding the plan.
Outcomes you should expect
We agree the measures before the work starts, and report against them afterwards.
