Last day of instruction, sadly. Got on the bus around 9 and headed for Synthon Pharmaceuticals. The main topic of this discussion was leadership in the workplace and within the Spanish setting. Synthon is a very forward thinking organization and their leadership was highly focused on the team and the teamwork mentality. This was a great discussion, it relates to people and within business, we all need to be capable in this area as leaders.
We also got a tour of the facility, very cool to be able to see the production areas. We put on the special suits, walked into special transition rooms, changed and put on new special suits to stay sterile as we walked in to the hallways viewing the production areas. We also got to see the storage areas and the packaging areas where they were packaging the pills they had made. We also got to see the quality control area of the facility as well. A sample of each lot of pills is tested for consistency and quality to catch any issues.
This was a very cool visit. How many opportunities would students get to go into a facility like this. I really appreciated the discussion as well, from a people and from a leadership standpoint.
In the evening, our little group decided we wanted to order sushi in. A few of us were craving it and some others of us had not tried it before and were willing to give it a shot. It was a great evening in, spent enjoying sushi, talking, and playing games. I'm gonna miss these guys when we go back to our normal lives and schedules!
