The failures of Lilly, while under his leadership, are numerous and the recent rant at the media were to me a clear sign that he had lost touch with the realities of the new marketing environment. The key challenges for his successor are going to be to live the "answers that matter" company slogan into everything they do while gradually allowing a level of transparency for customers and employees. I enjoyed working at Lilly and I received my marketing award from Mr Lechlighter but they need a major change in culture in order to strenthgen during the coming years. I was proud to be an employee of Eli Lilly but the as the missteps have come to light it has been harder and harder to admit that. There are a bunch of great people there and they need a voice and need to be allowed the freedom to change things for the better. Is the company up for it?
