Who should be CEO next?

[anonymous]

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.

This is brilliantly accurate!!

So true! The laughable part is the quiet transition years ago from the commonly used phrase "management team" to "leadership team".

The current clown class couldn't lead a turd down the toilet.

Twenty years later the GSK merger can be seen as a complete failure. GW got screwed by Sir Richard who handed the company to Garnier. Very poor choices made regarding selection of CEOs. Emma is doing well but has little to work with.

I’m referring to the terrible pipeline. Witty, Slaoui, Vallance should be remembered as the three amigos that gave oncology to Novartis for a handful of beans. The talent that GSK had in oncology has taken major leadership roles in pharma across the globe.

A fish rots from the head and something does not smell nice here.

I have very solid inside information that these were in fact MAGIC BEANS.
