Reflective Questions for Health Leaders
As you think about the themes explored in this blog, consider the following questions to guide your leadership development:
1. How do you currently ensure that your policies or interventions reflect the lived
experiences of those impacted by them?
2. What opportunities do you have to strengthen trust with the communities or
teams you work with?
3. How do you balance top-down evidence with bottom-up insights when
addressing complex challenges?
4. What skills have you developed over the past few years that have made you more adaptable in your leadership?
5. Who has influenced your leadership journey, and how can you provide mentorship to others in your field?
