We explore the essential yet often overlooked foundation of physician leadership: knowing yourself. Dr. Maha Mohamad and Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque dispel the "I was born ready" myth that permeates medicine, discussing how physicians are expected to lead without formal training.
• Leadership must begin with self-knowledge about personality type, communication style, and values
• Online assessments like Myers-Briggs can provide valuable insights into how you naturally process information
• Medical culture's traditional "do as you're told" hierarchy undermines effective leadership
• Creating psychological safety and judgment-free environments leads to richer collaboration
• Unlearning ingrained patterns is essential but challenging for physicians
• Cultural diversity and exposure to different perspectives expand leadership capabilities
• Even 15-20 minutes of self-reflection can significantly improve leadership skills
• Leadership expertise extends beyond clinical settings into all aspects of life
