The stated purpose of this text is "to present pertinent leadership concepts using real-life cases that apply to pharmacy students, residents and new practitioners." The text consists of 9 chapters with tides such as "Becoming a Leader", "Leading Yourself", and "Working Efficiently". Each chapter is further broken down into subtopics that deal with contemporary leadership issues. Each subtopic is addressed through the use of a case in which the protagonist, a new practitioner, finds him- or herself in a challenging situation, with each scenario being set up to allow discussion of certain leadership and management skills. Advice on how to handle the challenges presented in each case is provided first by one of several veteran mentors and then by one of a number of new pharmacy leaders at an earlier stage of their career development. The text also includes additional material at the end of each chapter, such as recommended reading material, self-assessment exercises, and even a few crossword puzzles and word games based on material covered in the chapter.
