It's so pathetic! The largest share holder, Elliott, has openly asked for a leadership change. They have laid out a clear plan of how to improve revenue and share price. Of course the rats on the GSK BOD say that they support Emma. Geeee, maybe that has to do with saving their own a$$es. As Elliott pointed out, GSK has failed at every measurement for the last decade! And our BOD wants to continue with current leadership? Sounds like the same BOD who approved Patient First. I don't know about you, but if I were to hire an employee at any level I would be sure to hire a person with relevant experience. You don't hire a makeup executive to lead a biopharma company! Huge differences with a completely different business model. Elliott literally points this out. This organization has needed a leadership shakeup for a long long time! GSK has had more layoffs than any other pharma company of its size. We, the field, have felt this, seen this, over and over and over! FLLs rarely leave and have been embedded in roles for 10, 15, 20+ years! Don't you think these individuals should be moved up or moved out? That is just one example of why this company continues to be the most toxic in the industry. The playbook will not change for us. Leadership only knows one way to lead and that's by a top-down do as I say approach. The whip will crack and no one will be spared. The level of expectation will be quadrupled due to the fact that our CEO and her BOD jobs are on the line. Sell baby sell! The pressure is on and if we can't improve revenues by sales and price increases, the next place to increase revenue is to lay off more reps. Now do you see the future of the company? Stay at your own risk.

One of the women from The View. All of our reps, who are really just stay at home homes anyways, would love it.

I say go one further and take the suggestion of Whoopi Goldberg: Dr. Jill Biden. She's a hell of a doctor, according to Whoopi. And her medical degree would check the "scientific background" box that Elliott seems to be looking for.
 






























Andrew Witty. Bring back the greatest leader in the history of GSK. What a special talent he was. Or the Moroccan can be brought in, Moncef Slaoui. Patrick Vallance would be another great option.

Used to work for this company and left because I saw NO strategy other than chaos. Don’t know if it is still the same but constant territory changes, ridiculous selling models, nit picking FLL’s with their little check sheets following me around to see if I had said, done the right thing. Felt like perhaps they should have just trained some monkeys to follow their script…it was a brutal, humiliating experience. I used to wonder who the hell could have devised such a soul killing enterprise. So for what it’s worth, this ex employee begs to differ with your opinion.

The environment you speak of was put in place and developed by Witty and his minions from Lilly........strategy was lost during that time......new mgmnt is coming around........you cannot change things that were going on for the past 15 years over night!.....GSK has a good direction right now and it is a lot different from the vaccine/Consumer base + Pharma line extension strategy of the former crew.......they were fools

Rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic is what new management is doing. The only result you are going to see from GSK's "good direction" is a smoldering crater in the ground.
 


















It doesn’t matter who the CEO is, apathy is deeply engrained into the culture here. GSK is the place where talented, conscientious and ambitious people go to work and over time they are beaten into submission through micromanagement and mediocrity.

“Leaders” who manage rather than lead, and who listen infrequently, and then only to those who affirm their misguided plans.

A 180 degree turn is required to right this ship and no one has the stamina or willpower for that so let the band play on as long as the SS GSK is afloat.

Grab a lifeboat if you can find one.
