ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors experience as a woman healthcare leader. Therefore, they asked 12 successful women who became leaders by different paths, and who have held a broad range of roles in healthcare to share their perspectives and guidance. “Many times, women are the glue in families including making healthcare decisions, caring for aging parents and children. Women juggle multiple priorities all the time. That is what we have to do. Because of the need to juggle many priorities, women have developed a team-based approach to help them. This goes into the workplace. They are used to working in teams and that is where we are moving in healthcare. Many times, but not always, women are more about the work and getting the job done and less about who gets the credit”.
