PRESIDENT
Rely on your team
Wisconsin Pharmacal Co.
After earning his stripes with the company for 25 years, Andrew Wundrock recently took the reins as president at Wisconsin Pharmacal Co. One lesson he has learned throughout his career is that strong leaders are nothing without their team. “‘Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.’ “These carefully selected words, masterfully assembled by Henry Ford, are a guiding principle that has had a major impact on my professional career. Understanding this simple principle has led me to rely on others and build on the concept of the team rather than go it alone. “To realize the full potential of many situations in today’s competitive retail environment, one must employ many disciplines.

neuvered by a strong leader, that produce the best results. “As I have reflected on my career up to this stage it’s apparent to me that I have lived by this simple guiding principle for some time, each step of the way gathering more information, experience, and ultimately the courage to lead. Strong leaders are built over time and have the unique ability to not only lead, but often to lead by example. Strong leadership maximizes the potential of the overall group and leads to excellence in results.

“Rely on your team. Have the courage to give credit, provide leadership, and enjoy the successes that come with well-defined teamwork. Do more of the things that work and learn from the struggles as you progress, and success is inevitably the reward. Striking this delicate balance provides not only success in business, but individually.” n
