Hello everyone. Its good to be back for Module 2.. Thank you Amy for sharing the link to the journey of self assessment. I agree with the 8 essential leadership communication skills mentioned. I think there are many factors that will influence how these skills are used or implemented. But it is important that as an individual we are capable of reflecting and understanding what skills we are good at and which ones need improvement. In addition having all the skills alone does not necessary guarantee you have good communication skills. It is essential that you know what skill to use or not to use based on the situation and task. Thank you

Thank you Amy for the intro to week 3. Below are my reflections on 2 of the questions. ○ What do you think followership means, and why is this relevant to leadership? Followership is the ability to follow and take direction from others. I think the most successful followership is when it comes willingly be the follower so there will be some loyalty to the leader. Having followership will facilitate the leadership plans and goals on the long-term. Followership means having supporters to the leadership. ○ What do you consider are the differences between leadership and management? Leadership is more on driving the bigger picture. Leaders play an important role is setting the vision, inspiring others and thinking ideas. Management is more of an execution role. Managers usually need to have the skills and expertise and to deliver tasks. They usually have more “hands on” with their teams. Looking forward to todays session. Hosnah

Thank you very much for today's session. I think there is increased emphasis in healthcare due to the continuous changes. Increased emphasis on transformative healthcare services, changing demographics e.g. increased aging populations, pandemics and epidemics with limited resources medical workforce, digitalization of healthcare , etc. all of these require having leader to can steer and guide the healthcare practitioners. There is a lot of learning and adopting of new initiatives that need to take place and needs leaders with the right knowledge and training.
