Novartis Oncology - Why are so many great people leaving?

Why are so many great people leaving Novartis Oncology?

This ones was a special place. Now many great managers and talents have left (Global, Development, US, EGM).

Thereby you can almost watch a negative selection. How can this be?

 

$$$$$$$

 

Well said!

 

Oncology has become a weird place.

Senior roles get often filled with external or GenMed people. Great internal talents leave.

Let's hope this place does not become a second Alcon.

 

Oncology EGM is such a venomous snake pit. The leadership is incompetent to the core and with fantastically wrong values and behaviours - even for Novartis standards. No one in their right mind would want to be in such a toxic place.

 

Yes, real talent eaters.

And it is indeed the trick of incompetent management to hire externally. Thus, they get more loyalty which helps to cover their weakness.

 

Lots of good leaders leaving. David, Rainer, Guido, Oz, Ketchum, Mahesh, Harout. The list goes on and on and on

 

nvs onc has a horrible culture and work ethics. lots of pressure to be best, innovative and continuously growing. If you are any good and a us citizen, why stay??

 

I definitely wouldn’t call Ketchum a good leader. He’s everything but.

 

Too many reps calling on the same docs with the same product!

 

Mahesh was painful. McKinsey guy who went from role to role adding no value

 

Retirement is overdue. Was protected much too long.

People will be relieved here.

 

Just one of the many useless managers selected and groomed by Rainer. Fortunately, he was not in positions to make a lot of damage - unlike the global guys Rainer put in charge of Entresto.

 

I beg to differ... as a FF leader over the past year, I say that he brought in very strong, decisive leadership. Looked out for the field in a big way. You seem jealous of Mckinsey guys - a lot of them at Novartis.

 

If you think Rainer was bad then you are crazy. Are you one of those who complain about anyone and everyone? Don't you recognize good people when you see them?

 

Reading comprehension not your forte? I wasn’t referring to Rainer’s character. I actually think he is a good person.

 

That probably the reason we are doing so well... the only answer those people have in mind is INDIA INDIA INDIA

 

india is the problem not the solution. Our counterparts there cause us so much more work in headquarters considering we constantly have to re-do their work. Trying to figure out where they came up with language or data takes 5 times longer than if we did it ourselves.

If management listens to one thing I hope it's this. No matter how much savings you get per headcount, and no matter how much training you give the Indian colleagues, I doubt it'll be an effective solution.

 

agree..he was canned..mahesh was terrible..sucked up and kicked down
