Leadership Matters: Reimagining Healthcare Leadership, Ubuntu Principles for Healing the Healers Online
This webinar explores Ubuntu leadership as an ethical and relational framework for healing moral injury and burnout among frontline healthcare workers after the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing from African philosophies of compassion, community, and shared humanity, Ubuntu leadership emphasizes collective care, relational accountability, and moral restoration in healthcare institutions. Participants will learn how Ubuntu principles can support psychological safety, resilience, and ethical renewal within post-pandemic healthcare teams. The session will present findings from a qualitative phenomenological study involving 20 Ontario healthcare workers, offering practical strategies for moral repair, empathy-based teamwork, and transformative leadership development in clinical and organizational contexts.
