    I learned long ago that not everyone can be a leader. Even when they seem to have the skills & experience, some will get seduced by power. They don’t listen & are blind to everything around them. But everyone can build #leadershipcompetencies ie.#selfawareness #empathy #humility

    Lead with integrity and respect so others will follow. Blaming and attacking others only exposes flaws in leadership competencies; flaws that lead to a toxic environment. Instead act by building trust with #humility, #empathy, and #kindness.

    Leadership is meaningless if you don’t have the support of the people whom you lead. Why else would you want to be a leader? That’s why leading @AHS_media has been the highlight of my career #ThankYou for the many years of support #gratefulforyou #servantleaders

    I’ve pointed out that Leadership is not about whether you have a title or not. It is about having the leadership competencies so that one can & should make life better for those around them regardless of where you are in a system. #empathy #integrity #authenticity #humility

    “To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world” Josephine Billings knew that no matter who you are, what you do, or where you come from, we can all make a positive difference through caring and helping others #kindnessmatters #makeadifference

    Someone once asked me to give them a #leadership title so that ppl would listen to him/her. Dont u think that’s backwards thinking? Gain the trust & respect of ppl first & then you’ll be a natural leader. You don’t need a title for that #respect #credibility #trust #authenticity

    Some ppl in power don’t realize how fleeting it can be. One day you have it; the next day you don’t. If you wanted power for the sake of power you’ll have lost everything. But if you stay true to urself & know that power is a means to an end, when the power is gone, u r still you

    I knew early on that the best way to learn how to be a good physician was to learn from my nursing colleagues. #ThankYou to all the nurses who taught me how to be a collaborative member of the healthcare team. Because healthcare is a team sport. #HappyNursesWeek #gratitude

    Surround yourself with smart knowledgeable ppl who have diverse views from yourself. And then #listen #learn and be #humble enough to know when you need help. These are all underrated leadership skills but so critical for an effective leader.

    I’ve had the privilege throughout my life to be a physician. To care for and help Canadians through difficult health issues. To me, it’s more than just a profession. #thankyou for the trust. And happy #NationalPhysiciansDay to all my colleagues for their commitment to care

    As a leader, when something goes wrong, don’t blame others or look for excuses. Just take responsibility and work with your team to move forward. Good leaders are responsible leaders. #ResponsibleLeadership #OwnIt #NoExcuses

    Micromanagement is either a sign of insecurity or a sign of mistrust. If you have a competent team, trust them to do the work. That will help them build their own confidence along with their trust in you. #TrustMeTrustYou
