Bracing Brave Leadership

Semco Style Stories with Roxell Pharma, Bolivia

How do you transform an organization that has been existent for almost 30 years? What can you contribute to make this shift a success?

Roxell Pharma is a Bolivian pharmaceutical distribution company that has been in the industry for almost 30 years and is facing a huge financial crisis.

Starting with small steps that created a huge impact, Jaime, as a Semco Style Expert, guided the organization in its first steps to becoming more people-centric – without firing people despite the need for “cost reduction”, and by implementing new policies based on trust and transparency. Sharing all the information with the team about the company’s challenges and facing it as a team led to great success with monthly sales records and a growing team. Is it a scary journey? Absolutely. And it is not a walk in the park. But, seeing the slow movement toward stability made this attempt of brave leadership successful and worth it so far.
