Leadership is creating clarity, making decisions, and owning the outcome, whether good or bad. It is setting a high standard and holding it, while making sure your team has what they need to succeed. Influence is not automatic. It is earned through consistency, integrity, and a genuine commitment to serving the people around you.
Yes, my head pharmacist, Cheryl Lynch, has been a defining mentor in my career. Her depth of knowledge is matched by an unwavering commitment to serving others, which has shaped how I lead. She has helped me quickly navigate the complexities of pharmacy operations while consistently grounding decisions in purpose and integrity. Her mentorship has been instrumental in building both my confidence as an owner and the culture we’ve created at Tidewater.
