Great efforts have been dedicated to rebuilding the engine of pharmaceutical R&D. However, one potential area of improvement has received limited attention in the literature and in practice: namely, leadership. In this article, we enrich the traditional views of leadership, which consider leadership a responsibility of a few centrally placed authorities, with the concept of distributed leadership. Distributed leadership reflects a group-based capability driven by everyday activities and the key scientific questions at hand. We identify three leadership challenges faced by R&D teams that could be addressed by implementing distributed leadership. Furthermore, we provide some suggestions as to how to foster distributed leadership in drug discovery projects.
人们为重建药物研发的引擎付出了巨大努力。然而，在文献和实践中，一个有潜力的改进领域却受到了有限的关注：即领导力。在本文中，我们用分布式领导力的概念丰富了传统的领导力观点，这种观点将领导力视为少数核心权威的责任。分布式领导力反映了一种基于日常活动和当前关键科学问题的群体能力。我们确定了研发团队面临的三个领导力挑战，这些挑战可以通过实施分布式领导力来解决。此外，我们还就如何在药物发现项目中培养分布式领导力提出了一些建议。
