Congratulations on your promotion - And, what were you thinking when you let Vic Clavelli and John Miles hire Ken Smith as the new RBD in the West for Xeljanz? Ken hasn't even officially started in the position and he has totally demoralized the DBMs with his archaic management style. Not to mention the racist and misogynistic comments. He thinks he's cleaning house but the only person who needs to be cleaned out of Pfizer is Ken. He is the type of manager that gives Pfizer a bad name and drags down the results in the Pfizer voice survey. He has no respect for people, no respect for work/life balance and has not once mentioned the benefits of Xeljanz for patients. Unhealthy focus on numbers, competition and sales awards. They would love to have him at Purdue Pharma pushing oxycontin. With the political environment being what it is, he is a liability. Can't understand why he was chosen to be RBD of such a valuable team. If the bench is so thin, you and those right below you ought to spend more time developing the talent just below you on the corporate ladder.
Had him in Cluster 2 when I was there. Very thin in the leadership category. Was suprised he was promoted to the position as well.
Pfizer isn't about leadership, its about politics and the establishment ELT. There is no innovation or market adoption. All the recent placements within PIH and PEH are hand picked puppets not of talent, but of doing what they are told. Blind leading the blind. They are all strange bedfellows literally patting themselves on the back or ass depending on preference.
