  • Pharmacy leadership limits can be good!

    Over the last couple articles, we have looked generally at the limitations we have as leaders. This is nothing to be ashamed of. It is simply a fact of life. We all have limits. Today, we are going to look at how limits can be good.

  • How many voices are you listening to in your pharmacy leadership?

    When last we met, we began to look at the concept of seasons and how it applies to our leadership. Today, we are going to look at things from a slightly different angle.

  • Great staff don’t grow on trees and what to do about it

    While we all dream of this fairly-tale orchard-type succession plan, the current environment and low inventory of perfect people simply do not allow it. You know people-development should be your highest priority, you just don’t know where to start. The answer: build step ladders.

  • Compassion in pharmacy practice

    It strikes me that the double whammy of increasing inflation and increasing interest rates will result in more and more of our patients and customers being squeezed financially and unable to afford their medications and basic staples. In my practice, I always relied upon the principle that our patients were better off taking their medication as prescribed than not taking it at all.
