“Are Leaders Born or Made?”• The Debate is still unresolved (selection vs.
developmental)• How you answer this question (perspective) describe
how you see leadership to be.• How you see what leaders “should be” influence your
own leadership style.
Defining Leadership
• “The critical difference between management and leadership is reflected in the root meanings of the two words - the difference between what it means to handle things and what it means to go places. The unique role of leaders is to take us to places we’ve never been before” (Kouzes and Posner, 1995)
• Etymology: Old English, proto-Indo-Celtic language: “to travel” “to go” “to be first in place” “to flow” “to guide”
“To go from where to where?”
• Look around you: What do you see?• What do you think with what you are seeing?• What does this make you feel?• Would you like to change what you are seeing?• What do you prefer to see?
In Health and Development
We need both LEADERS and MANAGERS• Leading = doing the right things• Managing = doing things right
“Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led” – Warren Bennis
“Hugot” Leadership
• Saan nanggagaling ang pagiging leader mo?• Leadership “CORE”– C – competency (skills)– O – objective obsession (“purpose”)– R – “regard” (values, principles)– E – experiences (“life stories”)

What are you called to do as “future doctors?”
• Formation – strengthening of skills and clarification of values
“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”-John Maxwell
What are you called to do as “future doctors?”
• Involvement – desensitizing and sensing
“The physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor, and social problems fall to a large extent within their jurisdiction.” – Rudolph Virchow
What are you called to do as “future doctors?”
• Transformation – “Presencing” and reframing of perspectives (doctors ≠ clinicians)
“The choice of working in Public Health should not be an alternative option but rather the norm.”
END
“Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing else but medicine on a large scale. Medicine, as a social science, as the science of human beings, has the obligation to point out problems and to attempt their theoretical solution; the politician, the practical anthropologist, must find their means for their actual solution.” – Rudolph Virchow
