Navigating a business landscape where change is constant requires leaders at every level. Our philosophy for developing leaders throughout our company is encompassed by our Global Standards of Leadership. These Global Standards combine our Credo values, business results and leadership competencies into a comprehensive, objective set of principles and behaviors that individuals and autonomous operating units can use to guide their ongoing development of leadership skills. These leadership competencies are:

Customer & Marketplace Focus
Innovation
Collaboration
Complexity & Change
Organizational & People Development

Realistic, Flexible Global Standards

Although the principles and behaviors in the Global Standards are explicitly defined as a framework for our entire organization, they must be interpreted locally as dynamic guidelines. The Global Standards enable the flexibility required for each of our autonomous operating units to interpret and apply them in ways that best fit their needs. For each employee, the Global Standards take on different meaning, based on where that employee is in the leadership development process.

The Global Standards of Leadership in Practice

At Yalepharma, we use these Global Standards to evaluate leadership potential in employee hiring, performance evaluation and advancement, and we provide training and development to help our people sharpen these skills. We want all of our employees to possess the vision and the skill necessary to transform ideas into productive strategies and actions that support our business strategy.
