Making the first steps as a medical writer in the pharma and biotech industry can be challenging. Three general principles can help managers foster the growth and development of their team members: Reveal, Rebalance, and Release. Reveal means that along with providing extensive professional training, a manager needs to reveal the hidden facets of the profession and the job. This includes teaching not only about regulations and writing standards but also about company culture and managing projects and clients. Rebalance means viewing the people you supervise as whole people, with personal lives and complex sets of commitments, and helping them maintain a full and productive life outside of work. Release means devising a development track for the people you supervise based on their goals rather than your own, maintaining ongoing and open communication, and being aware of how their aspirations and abilities evolve.
