Interview Series
This series of interviews provides insights into the intricacies of succession planning for pharmacy leaders.

The interviews were conducted by the 2024 ASHP Frontline Leaders Section Advisory Group.
"Succession planning is a three-part process: Coaching, Mentoring, and Sponsoring"
"Listen for enabling opportunities. Illuminate opportunities and gaps and make it fun and a common team goal for everyone to improve."
"Development starts with understanding ourselves and understanding who we are and how we are wired – our self-awareness."
"If you're aspiring for a leadership career outside of your discipline, enjoy your current job and prove yourself in it."
"The most important thing a pharmacy leader can do is make your aspirations known to your immediate supervisor, no matter the role."
"Sometimes as a leader, you’ll have to recognize talent in someone who doesn’t yet recognize it personally. This poses an opportunity to grow talent organically."
