| LEADER'S CORNER: HIGH-PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP AT WYETH |
| |
Paul L. Sturman is president of Wyeth
Consumer Healthcare.
Q. You've been dealing with a lot of
change recently. What's up?
A. I joined Wyeth as the U.S. president of
Wyeth Consumer Healthcare in December
2008. At the end of January, Pfizer
announced a merger with Wyeth, and
several months later it announced that after
the merger I would become president of the
global consumer healthcare business. Since
then, I have been operating in both roles. It's
been an interesting ride!

A newly hired CEO was handed three
envelopes by his predecessor and advised
to open one during each of the first three

crisis came, and the message suggested
that he reorganize. The next crisis came,
and the message read, "Prepare three
envelopes."

there are no longer any guarantees. But, no
question, being a high-performing player on a
great team translates into being a
high-value-added contributor, making it less
likely that
the cost-cutting axe will be wielded in your
direction.
Here are six ways to raise your-and your
team's-ability to contribute:
