The biohealthcare executive in upper-middle management confronts leadership challenges unique to their industry: they manage highly specialized knowledge workers and innovators, compete at the speed of technology, work in a highly regulated environment where "free speech" often does not apply due to patient safety and privacy concerns, and increasingly are leading virtual teams who may be located in different parts of the world. Practical leadership for biopharmaceutical executives is a guide that strips away the theory and meets head-on the practical leadership challenges these executives face on a daily basis, and provides these "innovator leaders" with the tools to lead effectively in the face of technological complexity.

Dr Jane Y. Chin is currently Founder and President of Medical Science Liaison (MSL) Institute, and Managing Partner of 9Pillars, a leadership consulting advisory firm. Dr. Chin is also a certified Competitive Intelligence Professional (CIP). She has given keynotes in the areas of career leadership/transitions for scientists and has conducted webinars on personal branding, personal leadership, and use of social media in these. Dr. Chin has been published in international trade magazines and journals, most recently in a European magazine Communications Director on the subject of Personal Branding and Career Redundancy.
