Leadership and Management in Pharmacy Practice

This book introduces students to leadership and management principles commonly used in pharmacy practice. It examines the foundations of leadership and the management challenges leaders and practitioners face, and provides practical examples on how to solve some of these challenges. This second edition takes a stronger approach to leadership, making it part and parcel to every topic discussed throughout the text. The organization of the text follows a learner-centered approach using more examples and focusing on problem solving and critical thinking versus just conveying of information.
