In Part 2 of our live conversation with Ru Taggar, seasoned healthcare leader and mentor, hosts Matthew and Hannah dive deeper into the leadership journey that prioritizes authenticity, influence, and patient-centered decision-making.

Ru shares reflections on the importance of self-awareness in leadership, walking through the evolution of her career from eager contributor to seasoned executive. She introduces the concept of "stepping back to step up" - recognizing when to observe, learn, and build credibility before taking center stage. Now in a mentorship phase of her career, Ru emphasizes how to create safe spaces that empower emerging leaders to find their voice and build informal influence, even without positional authority.

Key takeaways include:

How to contribute meaningfully in rooms where you don’t have formal power.
The power of behind-the-scenes influence and creating psychological safety.
How to make high-stakes decisions that challenge organizational hierarchies, with values and the patient’s best interest at the core.
Recognizing the “acts” of one’s career and knowing when it’s time to evolve.
Why great leadership starts with asking the right questions, especially “So what?”

Ru’s stories and insights serve as a masterclass in navigating complex healthcare environments with humility, clarity, and purpose. This episode is essential listening for those learning to lead from where they are, and for those ready to mentor the next generation.
