What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Respecting people, delegating, listening, doing the right thing rather than doing only those things that elevate them in front of their leaders.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
A clique of people came over from another company together. They are bullies and have inferiority complexes about not having advanced degrees. They manipulate and lie to position themselves as the experts on literally every single topic, from surgery (none of them our surgeons) to medicine, etc.

Too much work and too many levels.
Nothing wrong with the company culture, but there is outside pressure by consumers for pharmaceutical companies to lower their drug prices.
Culture of micromanagement needs to be changed

What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Unfortunately, leadership seems to think that laying off people will help the company be more profitable. This seems to be the current trend for a lot of companies. I survived a couple of layoffs and the third one, I didn't. After 16 years, I went to my 13th boss. Unstable for me.
