Part 2: Meeting the leadership challenges in a complex health system and environment

Globally we see some common challenges to the health system leaders such as the ageing population, increasing burden of non-communicable disease, the manpower shortages and burnout, mental wellbeing and the impact of climate changes on health. These issues make the complex adaptive health system even more complex, calling for fit-for-purpose leadership skills that can cross professional, organisational and even jurisdictional boundaries to facilitate the tackling of those issues. While no single leadership theory would be good enough, there are skills that are good for some situations but not others. It calls for someone who is conversant with various theories and their applications, and someone working for the good of the organisation/system and the people it serves. This requires someone who is always mindful, reflective and clear about the objectives and priorities. The biggest challenge remains as to how and where to find such a person.
