PC, a good ZD you must be smoking something, does he even do any work or just read out the same quotes from his Pfizer days?

PC is great for RD's that don't like to go out and do any work!

You are an idiot. An effective manager doesn't have to "go out and do" work. You can be very effective planning and being a support to your reps without riding in the field everyday from 8:30-5.

KK must be getting to you!

I would agree with this statement. I would argue that the manager that has to go out everyday 8-5 with their reps is in reality not effective at all. While you are out with one rep several reps are not being supported, emails not returned and other potential business growing opportunities are not being met. You would be more effective calling on a few impact physicians for territory/region and spending time out of the field planning, supporting and trying to impact numbers. That would require TRUST OF THE PEOPLE YOU HIRED to do the job you hired them to do. After 20 years of managing a highly successful team it seems very easy to me. However, so many managers miss the boat on this one. I have been successful not because I am in the field everyday but because I have a solid sales force underneath me. They work hard because they know that I respect them enough to let them do the job we pay them for.

Amen, but your approach to the business couldn't be any further from how Kathy and Perry view the role. They are all about surveillance, inspection, oppression and intimidation. It's an old antiquated style that was learned in their formative years at Merck and they know no other way.

Good luck with keeping that strategy. If your girl finds out you will be exited and another B+L robot will replace you.
 




























































LJ is cool but has knives in every pocket and she will not hesitate when you turn your back. This has happened multiple times, and has ruined several careers at Shire. Lies are the main weapon of choice, but she still walks away with that smile you spoke about.

So spot on that it's scary. And it's true she was a dietician before coming to Shire.
