    Good intentions!

    To some reading this column, the word "intentional" will hit you like a punch in the nose. It will possess your attention and inspire your action. Intentionality does not discriminate. It is a principle that will serve all who choose to adopt it. I have yet to find anyone who has not benefited from intentionality.

    Things don’t just happen in your pharmacy….

    Let me ask you a question: have you ever made a New Year’s resolution? We probably all have. If we follow the statistics, it is very likely that we did not keep that resolution either.

    Leading yourself – Part 1

    While the Directional Leadership framework provides clarity on how we should lead, we must never lose sight of where leadership starts. Leadership always starts with the person staring back at us in the mirror! Today, we will look at the first of four principles that we can use to lead ourselves well.

    Has leading others changed in your pharmacy?

    When we met last, I ended by asking you a question. The question was, “Over the course of your career, do you find that leading others has become easier, more difficult or about the same?”

    What if there's no clear direction for your pharmacy leadership?

    Last time, I left you with a dilemma: in what direction do you lead if a patient leaves your pharmacy, transfers to another, but then returns to you?

    The grey area of directional leadership

    Are there times when we lead others from more than one direction? More specifically, when leading our patients, what direction are we leading? To me, or at least the me of several years ago, I would think it was leading down. However, now that I have spent some time examining directional leadership, and more specifically traced the line of authority, I do not believe that is the case.

    The fourth direction of pharmacy leadership, Part 1

    When we talk about directional leadership, up, down and across pretty much covers it, doesn't it? Long-time readers will not be surprised when I tell you we have another direction of leadership to explore – the Fourth Direction of Leadership.
