“Be clear in your purpose”: Pfizer Philippines kicks off 2022 with online leadership event

Guest speaker Pilipinas Shell President

inspires morale with keynote speech

To officially welcome a new business year in 2022 and inspire its employees to do their best, Pfizer Philippines convened its leadership and management team—from the country manager all the way to district managers—in an online kickoff meeting last January 7.

The meeting, which had the theme “Connecting Hearts, Connecting Science,” had Pilipinas Shell’s first female president and CEO Lorelie Quiambao Osial as keynote speaker. She shared insights and stories, and answered questions about her 20-year career with the multinational energy company.

Osial believes that there is no formula to be a strong leader, although there can be a single framework that allows for differences or changes.

“As a leader, you do need to be clear about your own purpose and the purpose of your organization. Be ready to evolve, have a growth mindset, communicate purposefully and with the right frequency, and value your people and resources,” she said.
