Rebels with a Cause:  Exploring the Element of Authenticity Part 2:  

In Part 2 of the episode on authenticity, the panel discusses authentic leadership in practice.  Sahand reflects about his observation of authentic leadership (AL) in his career and what qualities are essential for authentic leaders, especially from the perspective of those just starting their careers.  The importance of developing self-awareness and having authentic leadership mentors is highlighted.  

From a mid-career perspective, Jacklyn shares that self-doubt is part of one’s entire leadership journey, not just in early career stages.  Confidence comes with practice and by having a support system or “circle of influence” in place.   

Later in career, Wendy reports that in her experience, mid to late career leaders can become complacent and perhaps “over confident” and rate themselves as more effective and authentic than others do.  Humility and self-awareness are key in this stage of career to help retain authenticity.   

The panel also explores the influence of authentic leadership, civility norms in the workplace and the possibility of burnout and turnover among early career health professionals who are subjected to co-worker incivility.  Reasons for workplace incivility, the role of health leaders in role modelling civility and authentically challenging incivility is discussed.

Rebels with a Cause:  Exploring the Element of Authenticity Part 1.   

In our final episode of Season 4, Mobeen and Matthew welcome a cross- generational leadership panel to explore the concept of authenticity in leadership.  The panel includes an emerging leader, a mid-career leader and an “expert” leader who share their experiences about what makes an authentic leader and good rebel.   

Sahand Ensafi is the emerging leader guest.  Sahand is an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant with 10 years of experience working at the University Health Network (UHN) and a recent graduate from the MHSc Health Administration program at the University of Toronto.   

Jacklyn Pearce is the mid-career leader on the panel.  Jacklyn is Executive Director of the Office of Health System Transformation at London Health Sciences Centre in London, Ontario.  Jacklyn is a registered Occupational Therapist. She completed a Masters in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety through IHPME at the University of Toronto.  

Wendy Nelson is the “expert” health leader guest.  Wendy is an experienced health executive, currently serving as Senior Fellow within IHPME and is founder of Vernissage Health. Wendy has served as a senior executive in a broad range of settings in the private and public sectors.  She possesses a Masters in Health Administration from University of Toronto and a Masters in International Health Leadership from McGill University.   

In Part 1 of the conversation, each panel member shares what they believe are the qualities of a “good rebel”.  Turning to the element of authenticity, each shares their definition of authentic leadership and approaches to how they remain “authentic” as leaders in health care.   

Authenticity often is expressed through storytelling by leaders. Stories of “failure” often resonate and have more impact that traditional “hero” or “success” stories.  Wendy speaks to the powerful storytelling focus of Vernissage Health Leaders Dialogue Series where leaders are invited to share stories of struggle and setbacks to develop the next generation of health leaders in Canada.   

Sahand and Jacklyn concur that these stories “humanize” more experienced leaders, build mentoring relationship and demonstrate that perfection is not the goal.  All health leaders can learn and grow from missteps. 

The episode ends with a question about why more research and focus has not been given to “authentic leadership”.  Jacklyn speculates that we are in a transition from old to new ways of leadership – a transition from old power to new power.  On this journey, we both need to learn how to be authentic leaders and unlearn some aspects of traditional hierarchical leadership.

Along the way, our cohosts, Hannah and Matthew, mine some gems of advice for emerging and early career leaders on what it takes to lead and advocate for positive change.  Ene reflect on some pivotal learning moments in her career and encourages us all, as leaders, to have patience, leverage our power, and do the homework to become effective leaders of change.

In this introductory episode, our cohosts, Mobeen and Matthew, discuss how the podcast team selected the Season 4 theme “Rebels with a Cause”.  Coming out of the pandemic in which unprecedented change was the norm, the podcast team chose to seek inspiration this year from those health leaders who, day to day, defy the norm.  Leaders who continually challenge conventions in pursuit of personal, organizational and health system transformation and change.   

Like every season, our hosts “set the table” during this introduction and review the framework that guides the conversation with guests in each episode.  In Season 4, Francesca Gino’s five elements of Rebel Talent, the traits of change makers, serves as the framework for dialogue in each episode.   

The format of episodes is explained – two episodes per guest.  The first episode explores, through lively conversation, the rebel trait – diversity, perspective, curiosity, novelty and authenticity.  The second episodes show cases two contemporary academic papers through which the trait is explored by each guest.

Mary, Matthew, and Mobeen really get into the flow of things talking about how we can best engage and be present. The trio discuss athletics, musicians, the joy of having animals on your zoom calls, and what we can learn from that about setting conditions for workplace engagement - and of course the joy that being engaged brings us.
