The idea of publishing a collection of letters to young leaders in healthcare was planted when the Healthcare Leadership College (HLC) was considering what would be the most meaningful and appropriate way to celebrate HLC’s 10 years of growing leaders. 

This anniversary publication, Growing Leaders, is our attempt to capture the ethos, shared values, and invaluable leadership experiences of successive generations of leaders in healthcare, from across Singapore’s public healthcare agencies, Clusters and institutions; and across different healthcare professions.  It is our hope that Growing Leaders will serve as both an inspiration and challenge for all who serve in healthcare, and as a reminder to not only grow as leaders themselves, but to also grow and nurture future generations of leaders.
