GLINT

We are speaking up but then have a team meeting about Glint survey. It’s the HQ leadership not the people actually doing the work that is the problem. Look at executive directors first. Put the right leaders who really care and listen to their people. You hear the rumblings about who the good leaders are. Follow those insights. If things don’t improve replace the Executive Directors and see the domino effect of progress sooner. Otherwise, we can keep doing this circus. Secondly, there are too many executive directors in IMO. We don’t need them. We have smart people at Novartis who can get the work done.

You are correct, too many ED roles were added over the last two years. What do they do? Ride in the field? Ours is non existent.

What about this newly created Director of priority accounts??? Absolutely a huge waste of money w a lot of inflated egos in this group. Ridiculous salary for zero return on investment. This is what novartis is good at.. hiring a bunch of middle management that do absolutely nothing.

Novartis is way too top heavy with upper management. This most recent reorg created even more silos with VPs, EDs, and ADs. Too many chiefs. If we can't get rid of Victor or Des, at least get rid of Mrs. Copilot ED Laurie DePaulson. She is underqualified for the role and has done nothing in the year she has been here.

Don’t worry, she will be promoted within a year like all of the other under qualified here

Where is top RLT leadership? Why weren’t we on a call day 1? Two goons now running this place and all you did was sent us an email with colored arrows and something about 90% payout as you jacked up goals based on no history. GTFOH

CE is turning everyone into primary care reps.

Why do you think you are superior to primary care reps? Most specialty reps I know suck at their job. I’m not sure why you think primary care reps can’t be as good as speciality.

Seriously, the regard that former CV “specialty” reps hold themselves at Novartis is so amusing. It doesn’t really matter where the business is, you should be going to find it. Sales calls in cardiology rarely result in any persuasion from the rep.
Truth be told, you’re really their caterer. Primary care sales calls frequently turn to deeper discussions because they cover so many disease states they actually don’t know more than we do about our products.
A lot of those very special specialty reps have shown they can’t really sell with Leqvio.

100% correct yet they continue to disparage any rep was wasn’t “speciality” before. What a joke. They became comfortable doing very little and it shows when the former primary care reps are kicking their ass in sales.
