What's it like to lead at the top of some of the world's most iconic brands? Jeff Kindler, former CEO of Pfizer, has been there, done that. From handling high-pressure situations at GE under the legendary Jack Welch to leading massive change at Pfizer, Jeff has seen all the intense scrutiny and stress and was in the room when decisions were made that shaped entire industries. In this episode, he shares what he learned from handling public pressure, how he managed the clash of corporate cultures, and why being a CEO isn't for the faint of heart. He shares major challenges he faced during his tenure at Pfizer, such as expiring patents, product recalls, R&D setbacks, and regulatory scrutiny. Jeff reflects on his leadership journey at Pfizer on the pressures of being a CEO, including mistakes made, stress management, and the impact on personal life and relationships. He also discusses the need for resilience and balancing professional and personal life. We look into why leaders might be getting a little "too soft" in today's corporate world, what it's really like when everyone is gunning for your job, and how to keep your head up when the stakes are sky-high.
