3 lessons from my father's pharmacy. Both of my parents were pharmacists. So I practically grew up in a pharmacy. I even had my pharmacist's coat. As time went on, I helped out more and more, from restocking to helping in the back office to delivering medicine to patients. I learned the most from watching my father change his management style. At first, whether it was in the lab or in the warehouse, he dictated every step. You even had to ask him if you needed a pen or paper. Then he changed to just defining the goals. That changed everything. People enjoyed their work much more. They took on more and more tasks, and their cheerfulness inspired the customers. My father also had less to do and more fun. People flourish when you let them: • 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁. Micromanagement and control mania undermine trust! To build real trust, you must first trust people. Then they can reciprocate, and we can grow together. • 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. Every mistake gives us a chance to learn. With a good culture, you can handle mistakes constructively. Solving problems together helps a team grow. • 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Delegation is one of the most important skills for avoiding overload. When you give a task completely to others, ways and solutions arise that you would never have thought about alone. All you have to do is be open and have confidence. #LifeLessons #PowerOfTeams #CultureMatters #Trust

Ended the week with the first mentoring session with supervisors from Neema Hospital. It was great to receive feedback about the new perspective in managing a unit after our class one week ago. Feedback from week one: 1. Clinical staff though the supervisor are managing patient experience and solving issues on the spot. 2. Visiting doctors are being engaged more to understand their needs as well as inform them of facility services. Pharmacy is already seeing a positive result in their sales. 3. The team is Intentionally scheduling time for self-care as well as daily morning huddled to check in on each other. Simply means better humans are at work. I can't wait to see the transformation in the next 7 weeks. My week was amazing, let the weekend begin. Time to ; ✔️Rest ✔️Reflect ✔️Reset.

As odd as it may sound, “Chief Clinical Officer” was once a very safe job for me. I was insulated to a degree by the impact of my decisions. I could live and work in a theoretical world, as we planned for and talked about the ideal. I didn’t oversee the services that were happening in the field; that was the Chief Operating Officer’s job…I oversaw the initiatives that could improve those services, which meant I had less direct impact and accountability. Accountability is just different when you’re several layers removed from the application and impact. It was easy to blame and point fingers as to why the work wasn't successful. But after a while, I had a moment of reckoning; I just wasn’t satisfied working within this bubble of protection, lack of accountability, and, more importantly, lack of impact. Since that moment of realization, I’ve taken on more responsibility…including accepting failure. We shifted our organization to a Dyad Model, in which I am now ultimately responsible for the services provided and, just as important, the people providing them. Theoretical is less of a conversation, and pragmatism is at the heart of our decisions. It’s less about “should it work” and more about “is it working”. The feedback feels more real and necessary. The responsibility to serve people versus ideas is ever-present. And I’m bringing my team along with me, and they bring me along too. We are outside the harbor, where the waters are rougher, and the course isn’t always straight. If you feel safe, you’re probably not making any meaningful difference to anyone anyhow. Let’s take the risk, accept the chance of failure, and proceed courageously. Brené Brown said it best: “If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall; this is the physics of vulnerability.”

It's disheartening 💔 to see the decline of professional standards in some corporate settings. Pharmacists and pharmacy staff's challenges and needs are among the most overlooked in our communities. After six years of rigorous education and earning a doctorate, pharmacists often find themselves in high-stress environments, lacking sufficient support and facing unrealistic goals and expectations set by corporate. We need to hold these companies accountable, just as we're demanding better standards from other corporations like Starbucks. #SupportPharmacists #ProtectPharmacyStaff #CorporateAccountability #PharmacyDeservesBetter #StandWithPharmacists

9moLesson’s achieved through life experience’s invaluable and makes me feel good as a reader. Thanks for sharing these experiences and lesson drawn from it, especially thoughful words mentioned on ‘delegation does wonders’. It’s not just about only tasks but also about idea’s ( even Einstein's life is an example, his willingness to share his ideas made progress in many other areas of physics and others find solutions to many problems ).
