Crisis Leadership and Constructive Dissatisfaction: Paige with Professor Tan Chorh Chuan

Published: Oct. 31, 2021, 10 p.m.

Join Paige as she talks with Professor Tan Chorh Chuan, the first Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Health, as well as executive director of the Ministry of Health Office for Healthcare Transformation. He led Singapore in combating SARS, now serves as one of the top strategists in our ongoing battle against Covid-19, and was president of NUS for a decade. Their discussion covers crisis leadership, health care capacity, Singapore’s risk-based approach to easing restrictions, and the needed protocols to ensure a safe Vaccinated Travel Lane future. Chorh Chuan reflects on his early passion to study medicine, and ultimately to work in medical academia. He shares his thoughts on effective leadership, habits to fuel success, and how we all need a mindset of optimism to drive change, which should be combined with constructive dissatisfaction. And he’s all for lessening social media: “It could fill every minute of your waking time. We must leave enough time to engage with the real world.” Listen and share this informative and thoughtful episode, so together we may Pass the Power!
