Leadership in the pharmacy: Strategies for success in a dynamic world


Available In Kindle & Paperback Formats

Pharmacy is more than dispensing medications; it’s a human experience grounded in care, trust, and connection. Yet many pharmacy professionals step into leadership roles without the guidance they need to inspire others. This book changes that.
Leadership in the Pharmacy was created to help pharmacists lead with confidence, compassion, and clarity. It blends global insights, real stories from the field, and proven leadership frameworks tailored to the unique rhythms of pharmacy work.
You’ll learn how to build stronger relationships, communicate with intention, support your team’s growth, and create a workplace culture that encourages excellence. This is leadership written for the pharmacy professional who wants to make a real difference in their team, their community, and their career.

Meet the authors

Leadership in the Pharmacy was written by two experts whose combined backgrounds span pharmacy practice, organizational strategy, and change management. Together, they bring decades of experience in guiding teams, shaping leaders, and helping organizations adapt in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
While the pharmacy professionals behind this book draw on extensive experience in community practice, hospital systems, clinical leadership, regulatory affairs, and pharmacy management, the project also benefits from the broader strategic expertise of Prof. Drs. Sybren Tijmstra—an emeritus professor and globally recognized authority on strategy and change management. Having advised organizations across more than twenty countries and applied a wide range of leadership assessment tools, he has in recent years increasingly focused his expertise on the healthcare and pharmacy sectors.
Adding to this foundation, Drs. Peter Felen contributes over 35 years of international experience supporting pharmacies and pharmaceutical organizations. His unique blend of academic insight and deep familiarity with daily pharmacy practice enriches the book with practical relevance.
This diverse combination of real-world pharmacy experience, strategic expertise, and evidence-based leadership insight results in a book that is both scientifically grounded and highly applicable. Together, the authors offer a roadmap that empowers current and future pharmacy leaders to thrive, inspire confidence, and create meaningful impact within their organizations.
What are readers saying?
“I’ve read many leadership books, but none speak directly to the pharmacy team environment like this one does. It’s a practical gold mine.”
“When I transitioned from clinical pharmacist to department lead, this book gave me a blueprint I could implement immediately. Highly recommended.”
“The global examples (1000+ pharmacies!) bring fresh perspectives, and the coaching tools are superb. A must-have for any pharmacy leader.”
Peter Felen.
