Abstract

Leadership roles in the specialist digital health workforce are incredibly heterogeneous. No one single career pathway suits all aspiring leaders and as society and healthcare become increasingly digitised, the opportunities for new careers grow. Content and methodological expertise form solid foundations for leaders, combined with clear organisational strategy and vision, and the ability to foster work environments for diverse and highly skilled teams to collaborate on innovative projects and programs. This chapter covers foundational principles and important normative considerations for leaders in digital health and provides selected examples.
