TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
Today, I’m joined by Dr Imran Ahmad, a GP board partner for a large primary care organisation in London, GP training programme director, and clinical lead in transformation projects.
We talk about his journey from traditional general practice into strategic and system-level leadership, and how he has learned to balance clinical care with board responsibilities, mentoring, and integrated care work.
Imran shares powerful reflections on leadership growth, from letting go of comfort zones and developing emotional intelligence, to fostering psychologically safe teams and cultivating future leaders.
Together, we explore how values, reflection, and self-awareness shape authentic leadership in complex healthcare systems, and why it is never too late to reinvent your career with purpose and curiosity.
If you are a health leader navigating change, this conversation offers grounded wisdom, humanity, and inspiration for your own leadership journey.
