nature — it is much easier to teach a skill thanan attitude. The leader provides a strategic vi-sion of expectations and ensures the first teamis in alignment, all working together toachieve a set of common stretch goals. Theleader does not micro-manage but hovers andswoops as needed and always gives praise to re-inforce desired behaviors.

LISA DESCHAMPS-BAUM. Novartis.I think of myself as a visionary and authenticleader who strives to inspire greatness out ofothers each day. That sounds like a bold objec-tive but I believe leaders should be aggressiveand aspirational in their thinking. Some of thesekey traits are authenticity, passion, integrity,and humility. I encourage my teams to not beafraid to challenge the status quo, be passionate,and believe that they can make great thingshappen. I am a glass half-full person. I believe inbeing realistic to set appropriate expectationsbut to push myself and my team to strive toachieve what others may not think is possible.The power of the mind can lead to greatness.

DR. BRANKA STANCEVIC. Flashpoint Medica.A great leader is not only motivated, intelli-gent, charismatic, but, more than anything,

AMBER GILBERT. Ogilvy CommonHealth.Great leaders help others see the best in them-selves and inspire them to act on that vision.These are the people who build teams of con-fident and capable individuals, ultimately re-sulting in high-performance organizations.

SANDY DICESARE. Millennium Pharmaceuticals: A Takeda OncologyCompany.My thoughts on leadership continue to evolve.Effective leaders come in all shapes and sizes —from the bold and visionary to the quiet andunassuming. The best have the ability to bothinspire and empathize. Great leaders believe insharing — and in encouraging others to share— their passions and interests because doing soenhances the broader community. Successfulleaders know that failure helps them grow andthey find value in the challenges along the way.Simply put, effective leaders help others to seethe possibilities and in doing so generate in-credible energy, buy-in, and results.

ROCHELLE MELTON. Havas Life New York.Great leaders are willing to assess theirstrengths and weaknesses. They improvewhat they can, and seek out help in areaswhere they need it. Leaders know that theyare always in the spotlight — even when theythink they aren’t, and they act accordingly,serving as models for others. It’s importantfor leaders to be generous, sharing what theyknow and empowering others to becomeleaders in their own way. Finally, it’s criticalfor leaders to admit when they are wrong. Wedon’t know everything; we’re not alwaysright. By admitting that, by showing our hu-manity, others feel more comfortable workingalongside us and taking risks that lead totheir own growth.

GELINE MIDOUIN. Publicis Healthcare Communications Group. Great leaders know how to influence. Theyknow how to connect with their audience andmotivate people to act.

COURTNEY MANZE.QPharma.Leadership is the ability to inspire motivationin others through commitment to a sharedgoal. Serving as a role model is imperative inleadership, as is sharing one’s life passion withothers to achieve a common objective. As amember of the Healthcare Businesswomen’sAssociation, I have the opportunity to collabo-rate with such leaders in this industry and,from their insight, continue to learn effectiveleadership skills.

SELINA COLEMAN. Fulbright & Jaworski.Great leaders have a vision for the future and aplan for the present. To shape that vision, agreat leader listens to the perspectives of hercolleagues and then determines how they canwork together to achieve shared goals.

The connection withpeople is important to build followership andtrust. Having a growth mindset helps a leaderto achieve more individually, while also inspir-ing others to be the best that they can be.

JULIE KIM. Baxter Healthcare Corp.A great leader should strive for and be account-able to a greater purpose than oneself, whetherthat is to a small team or a large company. Thistrait is one that is present in the leaders that in-spire me and it is often the inability to do thisor the need for personal success that may causea leader not to recognize a great idea that is dif-ferent from their own or be threatened by peo-ple that they should encourage.

LISA ARBOGAST. YourEncore Inc. Traits that make a great leader are humilityand participation. A great leader sets the cul-ture, vision, and strategy for the team but un-derstands that it takes many individuals withmany different competencies and skill set lev-els to achieve success. This leader realizes thatto succeed it is important to surroundhim/herself with competent teammates whomay have greater skill sets and abilities thanthey do and be ok with this. Leadership alsoneeds to be participative. This trait is alsoclosely linked with the servant leadershipmodel but is imperative within a small grow-ing company that needs to innovate to pros-per. I have found it particularly important inthe services industry where the efficient flowof information and ideas is crucial to success.This is not micro-management but engage-ment within the business to ultimately addvalue to the client either internal or externaland drive further strategic vision.

XINYAN HUANG. Lundbeck. I like this quote by John Quincy Adams: “Ifyour actions inspire others to dream more,learn more, do more and become more, you area leader.” I believe a leader is bold, confident,passionate, transparent, and courageous. Themost important leadership qualities includetaking some risks and leading the change;making a decision to move forward when onedoesn’t have all answers; communicatingopenly and frequently; holding people — andoneself accountable.

TERESA MILLER. Astellas. Good leaders have the courage to make andown tough decisions. They imbue their organ-ization with a shared sense of the right thing todo. They understand that communication is atwo-way process: listening as well as articulat-ing. And they lead by example, understandingthat “do what I say, not what I do” doesn’twork. They have the ability to build alliances,and they are open and confident enough to en-courage others to succeed.

JOANN CHALMERS. Cegedim RelationshipMarketing. Trust, credibility, empathy, and a passion fordoing the right thing combine to make a greatleader. I learned a lot about leadership from myfather, who led with confidence, compassion

and integrity; and he was respected, admired,and loved by his team. I even have a gift fromhis team given to me in the 1980s to prove it— a poster of Superman with my father’s headsuperimposed on it.

SARAH MARCHETTI. Health Market Science.Honesty is No. 1 for me. I believe if a leader isgenuine and honest, she will gain the respect ofher team members and respect is the foundationof successful relationships both inside and out-side the workplace. Humility is also a trait thatI believe all great leaders possess. As a leader onemust be confident, however it is the leaders whoare aware of the line between confidence and ar-rogance that build strong and effective teams.Last, but certainly not least, is accountability.Delivering results on commitments made iscrucial to being an effective leader.

COURTNEY SULLIVAN. Roche Diagnostics. Critical to great leadership are the abilities tocreate vision, build relationships, and demon-strate passion. Leaders have to be clear on thedestination and help others internalize thesame. Relationships and passion are the fuel toengage team members’ heads and hearts so theysee the possibilities and believe in themselvesto deliver extraordinary results.

SARA ELINSON. Deloitte. The most influential leader is the one whocan genuinely adapt her style and approachto the context and audience. Whether thestyle adopted is one of a loud commander ora quiet influencer, there are three qualitiesthat I find essential in the leaders I have mostrespected: honesty, so the disciples feel freeto trust the motives of the leader; the abilityto engage, so the team members feel part ofsomething beneficial; and support, so theteam will feel encouraged to take enoughrisk to stumble, but know they won’t be al-lowed to fail.

DEBORAH PAN DORNER. Dowden Health. A great leader understands and appreciates thatevery role on her team contributes to overallsuccess. She does not perceive basic tasks asmundane or insignificant, nor is she hesitant toroll up her sleeves to help out at any level. Aleader also understands her own role andunique responsibility: she teaches, inspires, andleads her team to excellence by example.

ple around them and quickly assess the situa-tion to take action. They inspire by beingthemselves and their willingness to listen,learn, and teach others and encourages these be-haviors from others around them. Most impor-tantly, they communicate the good, the bad,and the ugly. Lastly, they motivate and em-power their teams, and hold them accountable.

DR. COURTNEY GRANVILLE. Battelle. A great leader has the ability to communicate,motivate, connect, and prioritize under pres-sure. The first three — communicate, moti-vate, and connect — are interrelated because agreat leader must be able to communicate ef-fectively, which usually requires the ability toconnect with who people are and what drivesthem; this allows a leader to motivate teammembers to not only get the work done, buthopefully to see the meaning and value in whatthey are doing. Prioritization is extremely im-portant in a leader as she must be able to mul-titask and stay calm, cool, and productivewhen there are multiple demands on her time.

Having agood sense of humor, a positive outlook, andtaking a genuine interest in people are keyskills to engage and motivate the team. For mesome of the most important leadership quali-ties are self-awareness, empathy, and passionfor the work that we do. These qualities enablea leader to connect with and inspire people.

EILEEN GREEN. Covidien. The key components of a great leader are ac-countability and vision. A true leader holdsherself and her team accountable for positive ornegative outcomes and learns and improvesfrom each experience to drive future results.Leaders who exhibit accountability build trustand cohesiveness in their work environment. Aleader’s vision provides the ability to commu-nicate the big picture and motivates the teamto the execution of goals. Communication is akey aspect of accountability and vision and re-quires listening and responding to input fromothers. A leader is measured in not only hersuccess but in the way strategies are executed.

TIA BRYANT. DraftFCB.Many leaders possess invaluable traitssuch as devotion, fearlessness, drive,and the ability to innovate. Greatleaders, in my opinion, however, arealso selfless. They share their experi-ences to ensure that others can bene-fit from their successes as well as learnfrom their past challenges. They im-

part knowledge they have acquired over theyears to empower others, expanding the think-ing of the people they lead. Great leaders de-velop others through fairness, set realistic goalsand expectations, and lead by example. Thegreatest leaders invest the best of themselves,creating a future of more great leaders.

JANE PETTY. Purdue Pharma. The first and foremost traits of a great leaderare integrity, emotional intelligence, courage,presence, and being present. Integrity means aleader one is open and transparent on what shedoes, and has the emotional intelligence toallow those around her to do their best. Lead-ers must have courage to make the tough deci-sions, resolve conflict, keep promises, acknowl-edge the good, and being ruthlessly honest.

Great leaders recognize when to have pres-ence in light of ambiguity, and be

present or in the moment when interactingwith those around them.

KATHY MEYER. Sandoz.I think being able to engage a team is one ofthe most important qualities of an effectiveleader. A leader must be able to not only com-municate his or her vision, but connect peoplewith it, so the entire team is working towarda shared goal. In my experience, this can onlybe accomplished by always leading with hon-

Great leaders help others see thebest in themselves and inspire

them to act on that vision.� AMBER GILBERT,

esty and openness, and by building trust withthe team. One team, working together, canachieve a much greater level of success thanthe efforts of a single individual.

MJ ROACH. Vertex Pharmaceuticals.Leaders who I admire share several qualities.First, they lead with a positive attitude, look-ing at the opportunities rather than the obsta-cles. They share a bright perspective on a dailybasis and encourage others to do the same. Sec-ond, they lead with transparency. They shareinformation when they can, and when theycan’t, they tell you they can’t. Third, they arecrisp communicators and good listeners.Fourth, they consistently draw people in andwork to instill confidence in their team. Fi-nally, they are always fair and very often funny.I work at practicing these skills and emulatingthese same behaviors in my own career.

SARA ZACCHEO.McCann Torre Lazur.To gain the respect of peers, direct reports, andsenior leadership, one must not only be confi-dent, strong, and decisive, but more impor-tantly genuine, transparent, trustworthy, re-spectful, self-aware, and humble.

KIM STONE. PSKW.The traits of a great leader are defined as some-one who is proactive, holds themselves and oth-ers accountable, understands the big picture,has strong communication skills, and is notafraid to speak up. It is essential for us to takeownership of what we can do to bring value toour organization and our clients each and everyday. Do your job as if you owned the company.

ANNETTE SCHULZ. EY. Leaders are open to change and embrace it. Theymove people toward accomplishing commongoals. Leaders engender trust, get things done,and their behavior sets an example for all of us.My credo is that being passionate about whatyou do gives you a competitive edge and havinga broad, almost intrinsic, relationship skills, crit-ical to creating personal networks and to sup-porting the development of self and others is key.

JENNIFER OLESKI. GSW. The foundation of agreat leader is having a passion for what one

does and by approaching every situation with afresh perspective and a desire to make a differ-ence. Leaders instill confidence by bringingclarity of purpose to the team’s activities andbeing steadfast in their approach. The qualitiesI most admire in a leader are honesty, compas-sion, and humility. A true leader celebrates thecontributions of everyone around him or herand is not afraid to learn something new.

INES DAHNE. Quest Diagnostic. Great leaders inspire through their vision andpresence. They foster and unite. They can makedifficult decisions and operate successfully inthriving and adversarial environments. Greatleaders grow others and accomplish consistentpositive outcomes through authority that theyhave earned, not through power. Great leadershave many dimensions — they do not focus onsingular skill sets to achieve sustainable success.

KELLY KAERICHER. AstraZeneca.I believe all great leaders need to possess threekey qualities: self-awareness, vision, and ac-countability. Leaders need self-awareness toknow when to lead and when to empower otherindividuals and teams to lead through a projector situation. To be successful, a leader needs vi-sion — the ability to see beyond the near-termand crystallize in her mind and the minds of

others what could be. Finally, leaders need to beaccountable for the decisions they makes and forthe success and development of their people.

ANNIE FOSTER. JUICE Pharma.The best leaders are people who recognize tal-ent and foster it; they know that a leader is onlyas good as the group she leads. A leader mayhave great ideas, but a skilled leader knows agreat idea when she hears it — regardless of thesource. Also a valued member of her team, atrue leader is decisive but empathetic, has per-sonal integrity, and isn’t afraid to roll up hersleeves and work alongside those she leads.

ROLE MODELS AND MENTORSRising Stars pay tribute to the

individuals who have played a

role in their leadership

development.

ALISHA WOOLFORD. Merck Consumer Care.Leadership development begins early in life.

For every challenge our industry faces now and into the future, there’s a simple prescription: talent. Talent is what sees the bright blue skies of opportunity where others see only clouds. Talent is what transforms the known into the new. Talent, in its many forms, is truly our life blood, and cultivating talent it is at the heart of everything we do.

It’s in this spirit that we celebrate Alissa Roldan as our 2013 HBA Rising Star.

If it’s the aim of a manager to run a tight ship, then Alissa is a true Captain.And, like a good Captain, Alissa reliably steers her accounts in the right direction. Thoughtful, focused, driven, and yet caring, Alissa is as highly valued by her colleagues as by her clients. Talent matters, and Alissa is one of the brightest talents guiding us forward.

My parents are responsible for mine. Theybegan with the early life lessons like, “be OKwith being different and thinking differently;”“be confident that what you have to say is im-portant;” “don’t settle for anything less thangreat;” and “if at first you don’t succeed, figureout another way to get it done.” I learned fromthem that great leaders lead by example andtheir example motivates others to greatness. Inmy role as a mother, a mentor, and a businessleader, I’m focused on sharing these early les-sons in leadership with those around me.

VALERIE FRANCIS. Sanofi.There have been several critical influences inmy life that have definitively shaped my lead-ership perspective and acumen. My parents andgrandparents taught me the value of persever-ance, commitment, self-esteem, and consis-tently doing my best, no matter the challengeor obstacles. My grandparents immigrated tothe United States with few possessions and nomoney but worked hard to establish successfulreal estate and catering businesses. No matterthe challenge they found a way to overcomeand also helped many others along the way. Myparents, who were administrators in higher ed-ucation, provided me an opportunity to seehow they positively encouraged students tolearn and assisted in defining their future.These experiences at an early age were the foun-dation upon which I developed my own worldviews and have served as the basis for my visionand values with respect to leadership.

JENNY COLOMBO. Takeda Pharmaceuticals.Early in my career I had two senior faculty men-tors — Keith Rodvold and Larry Danziger —who taught me not to let my expertise niche mebut instead use it to open new doors; this is thepower of diversity. My first true mentor inpharma was Jeff Wojtowicz, who is a proactiveleader and who inspired me to make things hap-pen rather than let things happen. My most re-cent mentor is my current boss Charlie Baum,whose confidence in me gave me leadership vis-ibility. These four men have inspired the leaderwho I am today and I am fortunate they are stillmy champions.

those who have faced military challenges suchas Winston Churchill. And, ultimately, thosevery close to home such as my father, whoshowed me what it means to be brave.

LISA TURZIO. Rosetta. My father has played a critical role in my lead-ership development. He started his own busi-ness at the age of 26 and I was lucky enoughto witness firsthand the passion, commit-ment, business savvy, communication skills,and leadership abilities that it takes to be asuccessful in one’s career.

NICOLE MONACHINO. Boehringer Ingelheim.It is difficult to name a single person who hasplayed a role in my leadership development. Ihave been influenced by many leaders through-out my life, many of whom were never in tra-ditional leadership roles themselves. Theseleaders have shown me that true leadership isnot limited to a role or a position but rather theability to inspire others to follow.

NARISA COUGAR. KPMG. Throughout my 15 years with KPMG in theLos Angeles, Sydney, and New York offices, Ihave had the privilege to work with manybright and talented role models in variousleadership roles at the firm and at our clients.Over the past several years especially, MarcMiller, KPMG partner, has played a key rolein helping me take my leadership abilities aswell as my career to the next level. He has al-ways emphasized the importance of workingtogether as a team, regardless of rank or title.By extension, developing every team memberto his or her fullest potential and recognizingindividual strengths are critical to the successof the team.

Great leaders, in my opinion, are selfless.

� TIA BRYANT,DRAFTFCB

by a number of people who have championedme throughout my career. Most notably, atGHG, I have the tremendous good fortune ofworking for a wonderful role-model, CindyMachles. She is the ultimate manager, equalparts a boss and friend. She is smart, passion-ate, and supportive, all traits that I try to em-ulate. I am truly grateful to be on her team. Ialso want to recognize a few other people whohave mentored and advocated for me, espe-cially Jennifer Samuels, Traci Gough, andErin Byrne at GHG, in addition to Tony Cruzand Brian McHale at Sanofi.

ANNETTE SCHULZ. EY.Everyone in my environment has made a con-tribution toward my personal development: theteams, the seniors leaders I report to, clients,family, and friends. I enjoy learning from suc-cessful people I admire, as role models or men-tors and not only in the work environment. Inaddition, I have a group of people around mewho give me inspiration, guidance, and en-couragement.

SUE KELSEY. GlaxoSmithKline.I love reading about leadership challenges andhow different people approach leadership. Thepeople who have inspired me range from thosewho have excelled in business such as JackWelch, former CEO of General Electric, to

AMY EAVES. IMS Health. My parents taught me a strong work ethic. I’vealso been lucky to have mentors throughoutmy educational and professional careers whohave instilled leadership qualities, most re-cently at IMS Health through women who arealso members of the HBA.

PURVI KOBAWALA SMITH. Health and Wellness Partners.I am so fortunate to have many inspiring peo-ple who have guided the way I approach mywork and life. My family, friends, teachers,managers, coworkers, and mentors continue tohelp me grow as a leader and as a person everyday. I am motivated and inspired by the vi-sionaries who lead with humility, compassion,kindness, and a genuine desire to make a pos-itive impact in the world.

MELODY BLANCHFORD. EY.From a mentorship and sponsorship perspec-tive, I’ve been so incredibly lucky to havemany people for whom I’ve worked take agenuine interest in me and not just lead bytheir example, but also take the time to coachme in specific situations. Two specific col-leagues, Diana Hoff and Kim Ramko, how-ever, have been highly influential in that re-gard. Almost equally as important, though,are the colleagues I’ve been charged with lead-ing. Their growth and development is a keybarometer for me in terms of the effectivenessof my skills and abilities as a leader.

Leadership development begins early inlife. My parents are responsible for mine.

SOMA GUPTA. Pfizer.I have been exceptionally fortunate to havehad great managers and inspiring senior lead-ers to learn from for almost my entire career.Early on, I was exposed to senior leaders whoshowed me that great work and good fun didnot have to be mutually exclusive. To this day,I maintain a strong personal commitment tocreating an environment where people enjoythe teams that they are part of.

TERRI STENTZ. Cardinal Health.Several leaders have played significant roles inmy life. The continuum ranges from thosewho were very positive role models and otherswho were extremely tough. Both influencedmy leadership style. Most recently, I’ve beenfortunate to have a strong leader Stefan Grun-wald, senior VP, Cardinal Health GlobalSourcing. He has given me the unique oppor-tunity to manage a complex national brandsupplier portfolio in addition to giving me ex-posure to true global sourcing in Asia.

RACHEL BUNTING. Johnson & Johnson. In my career thus far, I have been lucky to learnfrom several amazing leaders and managers.Each person brought new styles and skills ofleadership to the table. I have also taken key op-portunities in my career at J&J that have

most as a leader during the times that I was theleast comfortable or confident. I would en-courage each person to take on challenges atwork and see what happens, and then thinkabout how he or she could have handled thatparticular situation better. Seek opportunitiesto continue to learn and embrace the discom-fort. Most importantly, trust your judgmentand be kind to yourself.

KRISTIN CROUCHER. Quintiles. The most powerful tool I have learned is to askquestions to help people solve problems ratherthan providing solutions myself. I havelearned, through personally making this errortoo many times, that when I quickly jump tosolving problems for others they miss out onthe opportunity to develop and I miss out onfinding the best solutions. It can be hard to re-sist the temptation to show others that youknow how to solve problems and allow themto find their own solutions. Probably the mostimportant tool I would recommend is the abil-ity to use humor at work. It diffuses stress andputs people at ease. When people are at easethey perform better.

JEANINE O’KANE. Chandler Chicco. Good intuition is a vital leadership skill; it’s notmagic. This is a combination of experience,knowledge, instinct, and constant learning. Tocontinually develop intuition, it’s important toavoid micromanaging; step back to see thewhole picture. Surround oneself with intuitiveleaders. Listen to how they make decisions andwatch how others react. To fine-tune and learnto trust your intuition, make note of your gutfeelings and whether they turn out to be accu-rate. When faced with a tough decision, listento what your intuition tells you.

JENNIFER POITRIMOL. PwC.I think the key traits that make a great leaderare vision, the ability to inspire others, andhonor. Many times, laying out a clear vision ofthe goal and means by which you will obtain itwill inspire your team to give you their best.Honor, although subjective, is having thecourage to do what is right despite the conse-quences and is where confidence, strength, andcourage are born, which can also inspire yourteam. Communication is key, as leaders need toactively listen to their teams to understandtheir challenges and be able to communicategoals and expectations clearly to them.

YIN BECKER. Stryker. A few pearls I havefound include: confidence gives one courage;being prepared and asking questions will yieldgreat result; influence is about partnership, nottitle; one can make almost every situationwork, if you look at it from the right angles.

LISA COSTA. CMI/Compas. I would recommend becoming a mentorwithin one’s current organization. I have atrue passion for my job and to be able to sharemy knowledge and experiences with othersgives me great pride. It is also very motivat-ing to know you have the respect and supportof your colleagues.

MARIA WOODS. Publicis Touchpoint Solutions.Leaders need to listen more than they speak.Being open to other’s thoughts empowers themto shine. Leaders need to be able to laugh atthemselves. This makes us human and encour-ages those around us to relax, and relaxed folkssimply produce more inspiring outcomes thanpeople who walk around on eggshells. Embrac-ing mistakes, especially the really huge ones, iscritical. It’s important to remember to breathe;

unique challenges and successes. One shouldlook to all opportunities to learn about leader-ship. In my experience, you can learn from theleaders around you as well as below and aboveyou, particularly in times of change within anorganization. Also, a key part of my experi-ence has been developing a network of men-tors who have more or different experiences orwho are peers within an organization is key tokeeping one’s perspective and providing aplace to openly brainstorm new and differentapproaches to situations. Finally, indulging inopportunities to learn new skills or ways ofthinking in short training stints can provide atime to refresh thinking and bring new energyto approaches in leadership situations.

JUNE ZERINGUE. Insigniam.A practice of accounting for their results, bothto those they report to as well as the people whoreport to them, is a necessary leadership tech-nique. This includes both positive and negativeresults. Also, it can’t be said enough that lis-tening is one of the greatest tools for leaders.There is gold in what people say; it holds thekey to their performance. If a leader is strug-gling with performance with a team she shouldlisten twice as much as she does now.

this may sound “ohm, shanti, shanti,” but tryit.

I enjoy group andinteractive leadership training sessions, whichhelp me understand how others perceive lead-ership or have addressed challenges as leaders.I have also found it effective to develop astructured and detailed career developmentplan, which includes details on next roles —lateral moves — in addition to aspirationalroles and a running list of skills and capabili-ties needed to grow into each of them. From anetworking perspective, I have found it help-ful to have one-on-one meetings with otherleaders in the organization or team members Imay have difficulty working with as a way tobuild relationships and try to better under-stand their approach — outside of a challeng-ing issue or meeting.

My leadership development has beenshaped by a number of people who

have championed me throughout mycareer.

� JUNE ZERINGUE,INSIGNIAM

ELIZABETH GINGRICH. Sudler New York. It’s vital to work with the whole team, beyondjust one’s group. I make it a point to get toknow the cross-functional partners within theagency. Communication is a critical and un-derrated part of our job and lack of communi-cation is a common source of mistakes. All toooften we get stuck in our own world and loseperspective on the priorities and challengesother people have.

RUTHANN FLEMING. Roche Diagnostics.The cornerstone of success is an active, relent-less effort to understand — understand a prob-lem, understand the points of view of others,understand the impact you will make, etc. Tak-ing the time to understand others and activelyseeking out their input is both effective andmotivational. People feel that you care aboutthem when you ask for their input and thensincerely listen. A leader can inspire on the onehand, but if she is not a good listener then shedemotivate with the other hand. There is a lotof power in the ability to listen and convey toothers that you understand and appreciate theirperspective and then act upon it.

QI JIANG. Amgen. There are quite a few good leadership tools andtechniques that can be very helpful, includingself-reflection and continuous development;work on inspiring others and building strongteams; and exercise influence by building astrong network of mutually beneficial relation-ships to achieve team goals.

KELLEY BOUCHER. Shire Pharmaceuticals. I often find self-awareness and humility to bemissing qualities in leaders, but two thatcould change the way they are viewed andhow people follow them. So often, we makedecisions at the leadership team level withoutfirst asking those closest to the work for theirinput or opinions. We almost always make abetter decision after collecting this feedbackand also happen to inspire a level of engage-ment from those folks in doing so along theway.

� LEADERSHIP QUALITIES

NARISA COUGAR. KPMG. I believe the following leadership traits andqualities are critical to becoming a successfulleader: patience; grace under pressure; being ateam-player and never ask of your team any-thing you are not willing to do yourself; man-aging expectations; accountability; respect forthe team’s personal goals, priorities, schedules,learning styles; recognizing and leveraging in-dividual strengths/developing any areas for im-provement; motivating team members — thecarrot is mightier than the stick; and buildinga sense of camaraderie.

MARIA FINLAY. Janssen Biotech.Great leaders are authentic, charismatic, caring,inspirational, strategic, driven, brave, flexible,results-oriented, and relevant. They constantlyseek out different perspectives, bring out thebest in people, foster innovation without judg-ment, and promote personal time to recharge.They lead by example and make the time to en-gage with their teams.

AMY EAVES. IMS Health.A strong leader has high emotional intelligenceand is a great listener. Those who understandpersonal and professional motivations are suc-cessful leaders. Listening to people is the bestway to understand motivations.

MELODY BLANCHFORD. EY.Great leaders match their actions to their words,

build trust, listen, and collaborate. They areflexible, persuasive, respectful, confident, andfocused on the simultaneous achievement of thetasks at hand and the development of thosearound them. They make the whole better thanthe sum of its parts. Among the many traits ofa great leader, I think the ability to match one’sactions to one’s words is the most important be-cause it is foundational to building the trustnecessary to be a strong, effective leader.

ELIZABETH MCGEE.Novartis Pharmaceuticals. Leaders who have the greatest impact sharesome common traits: they are authentic, theyexhibit concern for others, and they inspire oth-ers to give it their all. Great leaders have theright balance of confidence and humility; theyseek input from those around them while re-maining accountable for their decisions. Greatleaders have a high degree of self-awareness andunderstand the importance of establishingmeaningful relationships.

QI JIANG. Amgen.Many qualities are important to be a greatleader, especially these three. First, great leadershave vision and see the big picture. They have aclear, exciting idea of where they are going andwhat they are trying to accomplish. Great lead-ers are outstanding at strategic planning, havethe ability to look ahead, and are committed tocontinuous innovation. Second, great leaders re-cruit, retain, and develop high-performing teammembers and empower them. They are rolemodels for others and they persuade, inspire,and motivate the team to follow the vision. Andthird, great leaders have excellent executionskills and deliver strong results.

NICOLE MONACHINO.Boehringer Ingelheim.A great leader is a strategic thinker who is pas-sionate about the success of the company. Sheis open to feedback and has the ability to styleflex depending on the situation. She is results-oriented and is not afraid of taking calculatedrisks. She truly cares about the development ofher team members and actively facilitates op-portunities for their advancement within theorganization.

JEANINE O’KANE.Chandler Chicco Companies.Great leaders have great intuition, and they lis-ten to it. They sense what motivates people andthey adapt their leadership styles to inspireeach individual to become his or her best. Theyread situations quickly and set aside precon-ceived notions to ensure good decisions aremade. They see what’s coming and course-cor-rect as needed, even if it means admitting amistake. Most of all, they have high self-aware-

ness. They have the courage to maximize theirstrengths and the humility to accept help inareas where they’re weak. Everyone has intu-ition; great leaders actively develop it, listen toit, and trust it.

SUE KELSEY. GlaxoSmithKline.My favorite definition of leadership comes fromthe Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu: A leader isbest when people barely know he(s) exists,when his (her) work is done, his (her) aim ful-filled, they will say: we did it ourselves. I be-lieve that leadership should have a long-termeffect on those that it serves.

best out of individuals and teams. Above all, Ifeel that the most important leadership quali-ties, and those that I’m constantly striving for,are an ability to coach to gain exceptional re-sults, vision, and humility and being insatiablycurious about how to make people, teams, andbusinesses achieve greater things.

EDITH EBY. Pfizer.Many people have played a role in my leader-ship development with early influence from myparents, teachers, and friends. My family, espe-cially my husband along with close friends con-tinue to influence me. Throughout my profes-sional career I have been fortunate to havemanagers who provided me with opportunitiesand honest feedback to help me grow my lead-ership skills. My current manager, Stuart Sow-der, has been an incredible role model andleader for me throughout my career at Pfizer;he is always challenging me with new oppor-tunities and sharing critical feedback.

KELLEY BOUCHER. Shire Pharmaceuticals. Great leaders should be a role model to thosethey are leading, not only in what they do, butoften more importantly, how they do it. Theyneed to show confidence to lead others throughambiguity and change as well as exhibit a gen-uine sense of empathy for the experience of oth-ers. Lastly, leaders need to be able to effectivelyconvey their vision

JUNE ZERINGUE. Insigniam.Great leaders are people of integrity. They caninspire and empower others, while holdingthem accountable for results. They have expec-tations of people that force them to stretch andgrow. Their communication style is straightand transparent. All of these traits lead tostrong relationships, with trust and respect,which I believe are the source of all success.

LAURIE HILL. MedImmune. In my view, a great leader listens well, is coura-geous, has a vision that inspires her team totheir best, and is authentic. In listening, a greatleader continually embraces a willingness tolearn and understand the experiences of thosewho are on her team, are her stakeholders, orpartners who work with her. At the same time,a great leader must be willing and able to makethe tough decisions that move the needle onthe business. Vision and the ability to articulatethe vision in a meaningful way to a wide vari-ety of people are also key traits in a great leader.People who understand how their work con-tributes to accomplishing the vision not onlyare inspired but also bring energy and creativ-ity to overcoming the inevitable challenges andobstacles that are along the path. Finally, agreat leader is authentic. A person’s authentic-ity becomes a key aspect of leadership in tough

times in an organization as well as a culturalbeacon during the best of times. It is about un-derstanding and leveraging one’s impact inhow to view problems, how to handle adversity,and what it means to do the right thing by thebusiness and its people through authentic, con-sistent values. And ultimately, an authenticleader is about her people; she recognizes andindeed revels in celebrating the successes of herpeople — knowing that her people are the oneswho make the business achieves its goals.

TERRI STENTZ. Cardinal Health.The traits of great leaders are centered aroundbeing open to new ideas, outlining clear expec-tations, and maintaining integrity in any situ-ation. The leadership qualities I admire themost are being present, expressing a sense of ur-gency, and having passion for the work beingdone by the team and sharing successes.

JENNY COLOMBO.Takeda Pharmaceuticals International.A great leader is generous with her wisdom andknowledge and never loses her own hunger toacquire more wisdom and more knowledge.For me, this translates into the art of mentor-ship; it is a fine balance between selflessnessand continued self development. This type ofleader is authentic in everything she does and issomeone others admire and want to emulate. Ibelieve the most important leadership qualitiesare courage, charisma, and passion. Leaderswho have these qualities are innovative, greatteachers, and always authentic.

RACHEL BUNTING. Johnson & Johnson. Leadership is an ever-changing aspect of busi-ness, depending on the team, goals at hand,and the overall situation. I feel that some of themost defining traits of a great leader are: beingable to make impactful decisions while seekingfeedback and listening well; communicatingopenly and frequently; and effectively recogniz-ing team members.

ROLE MODELS

MJ ROACH. Vertex Pharmaceuticals.So many people along the way in my career, in-cluding several bosses and close colleagues,have helped me evolve my leadership skills andstyle. Each helped sharpen different aspects:persuasiveness, conflict resolution, strategicagility, integrity, and vision. I am indebted inparticular to Julia Amadio, Hans Peter Hasler,Klaus Schollmeier, Kimi Iguchi, and MikeWalsh.

of my parents. Kindness, caring, honesty, self-discipline, and sharing are some of the mostimportant skills for being a leader — profes-sionally and personally. Thank you, mom anddad, for giving me the right foundation to suc-ceed in life.

KIM STONE. PSKW.The person who has played the biggest role inmy leadership development has been my hus-band, Rob Stone. We met while working to-gether at Pfizer and continued to work togetherfor eight years of my career. His integrity,courage, and passion for everything he does inlife have made me become a better person anda better leader.

LISA ARBOGAST. YourEncore Inc.There are several individuals who have played apart in my leadership development both pro-fessionally and personally. These individuals areboth internal individuals as well as executiveleadership coaches. Much like my leadershiptraits, there is a group or hodgepodge of indi-viduals, life experience and reading that has ledto my current style of leadership. Brad Lawson,CEO and president of YourEncore, has greatlyinfluenced the style that I wish to emulate,which fosters a culture of collaboration, respect,and trust.

SANDY DICESARE.Millennium Pharmaceuticals: A Takeda Oncology Company.Mentors and advocates have made a huge dif-ference in my life. Throughout the years, fam-ily, friends, and colleagues have all provided in-valuable advice and guidance. I am fortunate tohave had many different mentors throughout

KATHLEEN MUNSTER. Bristol-Myers Squibb. There are a number of people who have playeda role in my development. I have learned fromevery manager I have worked for, sometimesonly realizing what I learned after I was nolonger in that department. In addition, I havelearned from my family; most notably, my hus-band — a successful scientist and fellow qual-ity assurance professional who is affectionatelyknown as The People’s Director — and mymother, who raised my brother and I as a sin-gle parent and taught us the value of hard workand education.

my career — some I deliberately sought outwhile others chose the role. What they all hadin common, however, was a willingness to helpme develop. Rather than focusing on specificskill development, they instead took the timeto offer insights on how I might best approachmy life and my career. My mentors taught meto listen and accept advice from everyone, totake chances, to always consider different op-tions but to not over-think things, to make thebest of any situation, to grab opportunitieswhen offered, and to take action.

JANET SPEAR. Celgene Corp. Always make your boss look good and stress tothe team to make one another look good. Don’texhibit behavior that doesn’t build trust andstrive to not say anything you wouldn’t be ableto tell someone to his or her face. Emphasizethe importance of working as a team – multi-ple heads are better than one and if one fails, theentire team fails. Celebrate with the team intheir accomplishments.

DR. BRANKA STANCEVIC.Flashpoint Medica. Charlene Prounis and Helen Appelbaum ofFlashpoint Medica have taught me the charac-teristics of being a leader. They’ve set examplesfor all of the young woman in our agency, in-stilling in us the confidence to always aspire toreach our goals. Knowing how to delegate iskey, but these two strong women lead by ex-ample, rolling up their sleeves and doing thework right alongside us.

KIMBERLY WIX. Daiichi Sankyo.Fortunately, I have worked for organizationsthat have consistently offered leadership devel-opment training, and provided me the oppor-tunity to put those skills to work by leadingcross-functional programs. I also credit themany colleagues, friends, and family memberswho have taught me that leadership can comefrom any level in an organization, in any area oflife, and at any age. One supervisor in particu-

lar stands out for me. I had the benefit of work-ing for this person in two different companies.His support has been most valuable when myconfidence was lacking or during challengingtimes. He has always been there to remind meI was doing the right thing.

RUTHANN FLEMING.Roche Diagnostics Corp.Many people have played a role in my leader-ship development, but the one that is probablymost central is my dad, Joe Blough. My dadwas never the boss of anyone — he was a phar-maceutical sales representative working for Ay-erst for more than 40 years — but he has al-ways demonstrated great leadership. I’ve seenseveral people demonstrate authenticity, empa-thy, determination, and accountability for peri-ods of time, but what I admire about my dad isthat he has had the stamina to employ themconsistently for as long as I can remember. Heis 89 now and is still actively volunteering atthe blood bank, the food bank, and within hisparish each week. His focus is really all aboutothers. He is always part of the solution and hasthe unique ability to quietly make his pointgraciously. He is inspirational to me and re-spected by all who know him.

TERESE KUNG. CDM New York. Two peoplehave deeply shaped my leadership develop-ment: my maternal grandmother and my pa-ternal granduncle. They were both similar intheir humility, deep understanding of theirtradescraft, and strong sense of humanity andethics. With my grandmother I observed howshe was relentlessly decisive when necessary asa chairwoman of her company but also alwaysensured she treated everyone with grace andcourtesy. With my granduncle who was im-prisoned for 30 years for his religious beliefs, Ilearned the importance of conviction and hav-ing the courage to stand up for your principles.I miss them both dearly.

I havehad the privilege of working with a dynamic,knowledgeable, and passionate managementteam at Health Market Science. Our value as an

organization is represented through our talentand our management team who strives to cre-ate a culture that is innovative, collaborative,and fair. I have learned so much from both thefemale and male leaders at Health Market Sci-ence and continue to appreciate the exposure togreat leadership qualities that I get by workingwith them. My parents instilled a strong workethic and have placed value on feeling pride inour accomplishments, both professional andpersonal in nature. I am grateful to them for thesupport and guidance they have provided meand for the examples they have been. I knowthat I would not be where I am in my career ifit were not for my husband. His encourage-ment and support have given me the confi-dence necessary to grow and develop profes-sionally.

MARIA WOODS. Publicis Touchpoint Solutions. My father, a WWII Marine, definitely had athing or two to do with developing my leader-ship skills, and he taught me many lessons.One is to respect the chain of command. Youmay not always like your boss, but you must al-ways respect your boss. Two, semper fi — theMarine motto means always faithful. Be faith-ful to your family, friends, colleagues, yourcommunity, and yourself. Third, never retreat.Marines never retreat, although they occasion-ally advance to the rear. In short: never give up;hold your ground, and if you get a little beat upadvance to the rear, regroup and retry. Chancesare you’ll have learned something from takinga few hits and you will be the stronger for it.And finally, leave no one behind. It is your dutyto work with and on behalf of your team. Ifsomeone is struggling, help them. (c

LISA DESCHAMPS-BAUM. Novartis. My father has had the greatest influence on mycareer and my leadership style. At a very youngage, I would travel with him on business tripsand observe his style. He is genuine, aggressive,and always passionate. He has a great mix of in-

spiring people to achievebig things while

driving them hard to find innova-tive ways to get there. He has al-ways encouraged me to challengemyself and others and to believe“you as a plural” can make the dif-ference. He remains my greatestmentor today.

LEADERSHIP TECHNIQUES

SARA ZACCHEO. McCann TorreLazur. Learning the art of knowing whento relinquish control and stepping aside are im-portant leadership techniques. Trust that whenyou empower others you are developing confi-dence and fostering growth is another tech-nique. Leaders need to create a culture that saysit’s okay to take risks, make mistakes, bewrong, even fail — because as long as we arelearning we are growing.

XINYAN HUANG. Lundbeck. I recommend reading leadership books, attend-ing seminars, observing famous leaders, evenlooking at our bosses. But to be a better leaderone has to practice leadership behaviors con-sciously every day.

KELLY KAERICHER. AstraZeneca. I believe any leadership techniques that helpdevelop and support the team are the mostimportant. Two examples are providing cleardirection, which can help simplify an ap-proach or task, and giving employees the toolsthey need to succeed. Further, catching peopledoing good things and telling them about itneeds to be part of any leader’s repertoire. Fi-nally, I believe that showing interest in em-ployees — getting to know them as people —is also a good leadership technique. Knowingwhat motivates and interests employees helpsto better support them in their goals. Andwhen people feel supported, they are moti-vated and they want to succeed.

JOANN CHALMERS.Cegedim Relationship Marketing.The most sage advice I’ve received is to pull allof the emotion out of a situation, and look at itagain. It helps keep things in perspective, andgrounds you so you can take unbiased actions.If you view each situation with an objectiveeye, make a decision, and take action based onwhat you truly believe is the right thing to do,you will always be on the right path.

INES DAHNE. Quest Diagnostics. I recommend the principles of servant leader-ship and situational leadership. In today’s envi-ronment of rapid changes it is essential to flexone’s style based on situations and goals and toadapt to new circumstances with ease. I also be-lieve that true leadership must focus on the suc-cessful development of others through servantleadership. We are here to add what we can to,not get what we can from life — WilliamOsler.

GELINE MIDOUIN. Publicis Healthcare Communications Group.I recommend that leaders understand and cul-tivate their personal brand. It means seekingout reliable feedback on how you are perceivedand valued from peers, managers, and teammembers. This will help you understand yourbrand identity and determine what you maywant to change about this identity.

SOMA GUPTA. Pfizer.Leaders need to be decisive and practicalabout what they really need. It’s important toalways ask: why? Understanding why peoplebelieve what they do provides great perspec-tive and also helps demonstrate you are listen-ing. Don’t be afraid of humor; I have foundthat humor might actually be the greatesttool for disarming difficult discussions. Get toknow your peer set. Your peers are not yourcompetition; they are your support system.You are all going through the same things andhave the same questions, a strong soundingboard you can trust is priceless.

ROCHELLE MELTON. Havas Life New York. A colleague once said that it’s important to en-courage a climate of generosity, collaboration,and fun. If you’re not being generous, you’renot collaborating. If you’re not collaborating,you’re not having fun. Fun puts us in the flow.Fun gets the ideas going. Fun builds strongteam bonds. When you have a strong team, youcan do anything.

COURTNEY GRANVILLE. Battelle.As the resources chair for the HBA Ohio chap-ter’s inaugural mentoring program, I have justfinished compiling a resource guide on devel-oping leadership confidence. It is based onthemes in the book Leadership Presence byKathy Lubar and Belle Linda Halpern. I highlyrecommend this book as a starting place for de-veloping tools and techniques to be confidentas a leader.

JANE PETTY. Purdue Pharma. The best leadership tool is an ability to activelylisten. Leaders seek to understand by carefullylistening and ask questions to uncover poten-tial solutions or answers. It’s important to beopen to others ideas and propose solutions. Aleader sees the big picture and is able to explainwhy, how, and what role everyone plays in thatbig picture.

WINNING ATTITUDE

EDITH EBY. Pfizer.The Rising Star Award is an incredible honor tome of which I am extremely proud. I am hum-

bled to receive this award and be in such distin-guished company at the HBA and within Pfizerwith previous HBA Rising Stars. This awardgives me tremendous visibility and opportunitythrough the networking and other doors thatmay be opened as a result of this recognition.

SARA ZACCHEO.McCann Torre Lazur.The Rising Star award is such an honor. I amtruly flattered that senior leadership at McCannEcho Torre Lazur recognize my leadership skillsand envision the potential for my future. I amthrilled to be representing our network as aRising Star recipient, and I hope to be settingan example for future leaders at McCann EchoTorre Lazur and our sister agency, McCannTorre Lazur.

SARA ELINSON. Deloitte. Winning the Rising Star award is a greathonor. To be selected by Deloitte — among theleading life-sciences and healthcare professionalservices firms globally — to represent ourmember firms demonstrates tremendous recog-nition and support. When this is added tobeing placed alongside the other talented re-cipients nominated by their own world-classorganizations, the honor is amplified even fur-ther.

DEBORAH PAN DORNER. Dowden Health. The Rising Star award is a wonderful acknowl-edgment of the energy and effort that my par-ents, teachers, professors, mentors, and col-leagues have expended on my education andcareer development. It is a reminder that al-though I have achieved success, I still havemore to learn and much further to rise. I’mgrateful every day to be able to have a careerthat challenges me to be simultaneously mind-ful of both the smallest details and expansive,big-picture, strategic initiatives. The ability tomaster this — in work as in everyday life — isinvaluable.

SELINA COLEMAN. Fulbright & Jaworski. By participating in the network of strong lead-ers receiving the Rising Star award, I look for-ward to sharing leadership insights and betterunderstanding how I can help healthcare busi-nesswomen navigate the challenges of the ever-changing legal landscape.

TERESA MILLER. Astellas.Being named as a Rising Star is a tremendoushonor, but I’m also very humbled to be recog-nized among so many talented and inspiringwomen at Astellas. It makes me determined tolive up to the high standards of the award, andeven more motivated to be a better leader.
