How to Achieve a 5-Star Career w/ Penelope Przekop, PDC Pharma Strategy
We live in a world dominated by ratings. We generally prefer to purchase 5-star products, read 5-star books, eat at 5-star restaurants, and watch 5-star movies. Why then would you settle for anything less than a 5-star career? Today’s guest says you absolutely should not, and offers ways to be your best self at work and in your personal life.
In this HRchat episode, we hear from Penelope Przekop, a corporate quality management expert, entrepreneur, and writer. Throughout her 30+ year career, Penelope has worked with numerous Fortune 100 pharma companies, including Pfizer, Merck, Lilly, and Glaxo Smith Kline, and held leadership positions at Novartis, Covance, Wyeth, and Johnson & Johnson.
Penelope is the founder and CEO of PDC Pharma Strategy and serves as the Chief Compliance Officer for Engrail Therapeutics.
She is also the author of Six Sigma for Business Excellence (McGraw-Hill), four novels: Please Love Me, Aberrations, Centerpieces, and Dust and she has a new book coming out in November called 5-Star Career: Define and Build Yours Using the Science of Quality Management: amazon.com/5-Star-Career-Science-Quality-Management/
Questions Include:
- Let’s begin by understanding a bit about you. While struggling to overcome a troubling childhood, become the best version of yourself, and build a career, you began incorporating quality management concepts into your personal thought process at home and at work. As a result, you say you found what proved for you to be “the missing link” between all of your hard work and feeling rewarded. Tell me more.
- Why do people settle for mediocracy? Is it laziness (too much ‘Netflix and chill’ time)? Is it a lack of opportunity? Is it the system keeping us down? Is it something else?
- Why do you believe one’s career is, essentially, what we make of it? Talk to me about the concept of a person’s career being a product created by their own process. Share too, how to improve that process by learning to manage all the parts as an integrated, unified whole.
- In your new book, you suggest it’s possible
