Progress in pharma doesn’t follow a neat chain of command. Every day, people influence decisions, guide stakeholders, and steer performance – title or no title. In this episode, Tom O’Brien, cofounder of Sprintmodo, explains why taking ownership and developing human leadership skills matter more than formal hierarchy.

We discuss the real challenges slowing pharma teams down, why even high performers get held back, and how managers can shift from gatekeepers to enablers. Tom shares practical insights on leading cross-functional teams, driving collaboration, and creating conditions where people can do their best work.

If you want to step up, accelerate team performance, and become the pharma leader you wish you had, this episode is for you.
