Just Other Articles - Your Boss…Your Buddy…Where to Mark the Boundary?
We all know that these days one need very good “networking” to get a good break…or jump in their career. As they say, “what you know is not important but whom you know is very important”. At times it so happens that the person you knows…in the industry turns become your According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product boss in any of the future assignment. Now, the question here is… 1. How close you should go…to your boss or in contrary, how close should you, as a boss…goes to your subordinate? 2. What are the intentions of that person to hire you as his sub-ordinate? 3. What goe ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in s into your mind, when you accept the offer…from an organization where your friend is your boss? 4. What you should share and what you should not? These and many more are the questions…that we come across in your career…when we get our buddy as our boss. We will be di lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. cussing some of the points…in this write-up…along with few examples. Let me remind you…if your boss is too close to you…he will not be able to get the things done, because in India, most of the people are not self-disciplined and at most of the time…discipline need to here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe be enforced. On the contrary, he is strict…you will call him as “Hitler” or something. In one of my pervious assignment…once we were discussing about “Departmental Picnic” and our boss rejected our suggestion…by giving the following reason, “Why should I take you to pic d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro ic? Tomorrow, I will take you for picnic…we will enjoy together…dance together and then the very next day when we will come to office…I need to get the things done. I will shout at you…might get angry…or upset. Then, you people will say that I have double standards.” A ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc s a boss, one should be close enough to his team 1. To give them comfort 2. To be democratic enough to listen to your ideas 3. To let you speak 4. Appreciate your work and motivate you to take new challenges What else, …do you expect anything more from your boss? E easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi ting together occasionally; at times…sharing some personal experiences etc etc etc. Now, the important question…why your friend (Relative, Acquaintance) wants you to work for him? I can recollect three reasons… 1. He wants to use you as a source of information. He mig nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically ht feel that having you in department will be an edge for him…in making his own position stronger in the organization. 2. He must be expecting high-loyalty from you. 3. His position in the organization is not very strong and he wants to play politics in the organizati and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ n, by keeping you in the midst of the things. Why you like to join your friend ((Relative, Acquaintance)…and agrees to work under him? Here also I can recollect two reasons… 1. Having your friend as your boss…will give you ample of opportunity to grow. You might think ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi that he will give to you all-important assignments. 2. He will send you for all assignments; seminars etc 3. If your friend is your boss…he might tolerate your indiscipline, give you enough of time and space. At times, if you don’t work also, he will not say anything ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a and things like that. Let me know, if any of the above mentioned point in invalid or you think is not properly justified. As a sub-ordinate at times, we consider the appreciation, acceptance, and favoritism from our boss as closeness. I think, we should not do that a dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod d that is where your self-discipline and professional attitude comes into picture. You should be matured enough to not to let any appreciation or accolade or celebration to get into your head and at the same time your should not let any negativism or rejection or insul cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin t to dome your motivation. As a boss, I might be interested in knowing who’s who of your family, but nothing more than that. Now read this conversation between Rajshekhar, the boss and Kavita her subordinate; Rajshekhar: Kavita, this time we are having a long weekend, tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen so what are your plans? Kavita: Nothing great Raj, will be just going to visit my relatives. RS: Hmmm. Ok. I understand that your have been married for three years now, so what is your plans for marriage? Is everything OK? K: (With some shyness)…yeah. Things are OK b t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel ut as you know that my Husband is in US for some on-site assignment…for last 10 moths for so. RS: Hmmm. Very difficult, isn’t it? How do you manage without him? (And talks go on) Do you expect this type of closeness with your boss? This was a conversation between a m ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust le and female…even if this conversation would have happened between two males or two females…I think, none of us like to get that close to our boss. Any exceptions? I think that is where a clear demarcation between personal and professional life comes into picture. Tha y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products t is where; you need to mark the boundary. A boss looks good…when he is boss. Anything closer then that alerts the alarm. If you got a job …because or your friend is in position of authority, do your job…and that’s it. If your boss appreciate you; favors you, over othe . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de ; gives you more challenges…accept it and don’t try to read between the lines. He is not grooming you as his replacement neither does he is planning to give to 100% increment in your next appraisal. That’s is all, I want to say on this subject. Your opinion, your vie elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements. Companies that provide selfless information through particip ws and your feedback will be highly appreciated.
