High-Performing Teams for Life Sciences: How to Build Better Teams

Building high-performing teams for life sciences requires more than assembling talented scientists, clinicians, engineers, and business leaders. Individual expertise matters, but in complex and highly regulated environments, performance increasingly depends on how effectively people integrate their expertise across functions.

Drug development, clinical trials, regulatory submissions, product launches, and commercialization all require people with different priorities and perspectives to operate as one team. 

This fast growing Life Sciences company’s growth strategy required the majority of work to be completed in teams across functions and geographies. They wanted to take an action learning leadership development approach to ensure that their team leaders, managers, and new managers could effectively lead, coach, and manage diverse teams.

The highly customized High Performing Life Sciences Team Training program included:

• Welcome Conversations
  A personalized 1×1 conversation with the participant, their manager, and an executive coach to answer questions and set expectations for the experience.
  
  
• 360 Feedback Assessment
  Participation in a customized 360 degree feedback assessment focused on the company’s specific leadership competencies, attributes, and success factors. A comprehensive report and 1×1 coaching to review and personalize the feedback.
  
  
• Setting Managers Up For Success
  A customized onboarding experience for each learning cohort to prioritize an ownership mindset, define development goals, start building the foundation for the habits required to be a self-reflective leader, and learn new techniques to optimize your time, focus, and presence as a people manager.
  
  
• Customized Leadership Development Workshop
  Virtual leadership development training workshops to explore key concepts and techniques to stretch and grow your leadership mindsets, behaviors, and skills to better execute the strategic plan. The sessions were highly experiential, collaborative, and dialogue driven with peers and experienced coaches.
  
  
• Learning Pods
  Customized small group practice and reflecting session in groups of 3-4 peers during the High Performing Life Sciences Team Training program to further personalize insights into actionable habits.
