The FDA Group’s CEO, Nick Capman, sits down with Rick Beatty, Chief Science Officer and Senior VP of Quality and Regulatory at Robinson Pharma, the largest industry contract manufacturer in the U.S.
They discuss:
» Leadership philosophy, particularly the importance of focusing on employees’ success as a pathway to organizational achievement.
» Rick's shift in leadership approach after training with Marshall Goldsmith, moving from a self-centered to a people-centered approach.
» The generational gap in leadership styles, with older generations often struggling to understand the mindset of younger employees.
» How scientific and technical teams, often introverted, face challenges in communication and emotional intelligence (EQ)—and the importance of acknowledging and respecting different perceptions and realities to foster effective communication.
» How Rick’s international experience highlights the need for leaders to adapt their communication styles to different cultures and individual preferences.
» Why reflective listening and using various communication styles are essential to ensure messages are effectively received and understood.
Rick currently leads and manages multi-site manufacturing processes and systems for DSHEA, foods, and cosmetics. He manages employees, teams, and technology to pursue corporate goals in R&D, formulation, QC, Laboratory, QA, Regulatory, Audits, Compliance, and Customer Service engagement with National and FMD customers.
