Abstract

This chapter delves into the traits defining a leader for organizations to be successful in Asia and in healthcare, drawing from personal experience, targeted literature search, and perspectives of senior leaders. It first examines how the currently established characteristics of leaders, rooted traditionally in male models, disadvantage women's advancement. Then are underscored specific leadership qualities that women bring to the table, highlighting their significant benefits to organizations. Lastly, it provides considerations on the leader model of tomorrow encompassing more inclusive traits, a roadmap for individual advancement for women leaders, and talent development for organizations to be successful in the ever-complex evolving world.
