Abstract

Background A leader can only motivate people to do what they want them to do to convince them that it is advantageous. No one can be forced into leadership. Through my experience, I learnt that excellent leadership realises the desired results by getting people to do their best.

Method Therefore, I would like to reflect on the leadership theory closer to my leadership practices and leadership styles at my workplace in light of my personality and personal characteristics.

Conclusion Although not a new idea, but self-analysis is a requisite for each leader and leader to be.

  • clinical leadership
  • continuous improvement
  • leadership assessment
  • medical leadership
  • COVID-19
