Pharmacists, place your bets!
Let me ask you a more focused question: where does leadership fit in to what you are betting on? Is it first? Last? Somewhere in between? Is it even on your list? - 3/30/2022
Pharmacists – Expand your options
How often do we find ourselves in situations where we feel like we have very little choice? This is the only thing we can do. Occasionally, we may look at the opposite position and then make a choice. Often, we may defend the decision as being the lesser of two evils. - 3/22/2022

Pharmacy and the lesson of the wood stove
We need to recognize this lesson of the wood stove, because it gives us a tremendous clue for our leadership. We need to operate on the cause end of the law of cause and effect.

How do you measure quality and value in your pharmacy?
What does quality look like in the pharmacy? And how do we lead our team to provide quality service to the patients that we serve? These are questions that I now find quite fascinating, however 15 years ago, I just assumed that I knew what it was. - 2/9/2022

Let's get ethical, ethical
Several weeks ago, I wrote a post about the difference between managers and leaders. A noticeable difference between the two is managers do things right while leaders do the right things.
