GMU is a testament of a long and
distinguished success story of being the
region's only private Academic Health
System– delivering futuristic medical
education, playing an important role in
providing state-of-the-art healthcare
and promoting innovative research.
Our progress over the last 24 years has
been driven by the dedication of our
staff, students, and partners, in
addition to GMU's philosophy of
constant innovation and above all, the
Grace of the Almighty. We have also
received excellent support from the
government throughout this journey."
Gulf Medical university boasts a
student-bank of over 3000 students
from more than 90 different
nationalities, offering 29 accredited
Undergraduate and Graduate programs
run by the six constituent colleges in
the field of medicine, dentistry,
pharmacy, nursing, biomedical
sciences, healthcare management and
economics. Graduate programs are
offered in public health, physical
therapy, endodontology, periodontics,
clinical pharmacy, drug discovery
development, healthcare management
and economics, health professions
education and medical laboratory
sciences.
"Our Bachelor of Medicine and
Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) Program
outcomes are aligned to the World
Federation of Medical Education
(WFME) Standards. Our Bachelor of
Biomedical Sciences Program is
accredited by the Institute of
Biomedical Science (IBMS), UK and
our PharmD Program is certified by
Accreditation Council for Pharmacy
Education (ACPE), USA. Our hospitals
are JCI accredited, and our
Laboratories are CAP accredited,
signifying that we give high priority to

Emirates' economy. Dr Moideen
proposed an educational institution
modelled on the likes of a similar
establishment he had seen in the state
of Karnataka in India. The plan was
highly appreciated, and he was soon
invited to initiate and lead the creation
of a medical academic center in
Ajman.
While Dr Moideen had no prior
experience about this segment at the
time, he saw a great potential in the
inherent idea and decided to pursue it
and scale up further. A year later, Gulf
Medical College was established, and
ever since it has grown leaps and
bounds and become one of the most
sought-after private medical
universities in the GCC region. 60 per
cent of the health professionals trained
in the UAE are alumni of this
prestigious university. It's not only
doctors, but also nurses, dental,
physiotherapy, among others.
Emphasizing on the evolution and
development of the Gulf Medical
University in terms of buildings, staff,
students and scientific and educational
degrees, Dr Moideen states, "From
humble beginnings as the region's first
private medical University, today
Health care

me, but public
health is vital
to all, all of
the me.
Healthcare is the
future. Though
the current
healthcare system suffers from
many challenges. While
functionally adequate there are
several shortcomings that become
a major obstacle when the system
is under a lot of pressure. These
issues are not only of deficient
healthcare facilities but also in the
form of a severe lack of healthcare
professionals.
One of the individuals who is
addressing these challenges and
constructing a brighter future for the
healthcare industry is Dr Thumbay
Moideen, Founder and President of
the Thumbay Group. He established
the Gulf Medical University (GMU),
which provides the full spectrum of the
health education system. Backed by an
array of collaborative healthcare
programs, a fully owned and managed
private academic hospital, and state-of-
the-art infrastructure, Gulf Medical
University's educational model is one
of the biggest success stories in the
MENA region.
Established by Dr Moideen, the
inception story of Gulf Medical
University (GMU) has become
legendary in business circles across
UAE. It all began in the year 1998
when Dr Moideen had a chance
meeting with a member of Ajman's
royal family, who asked him for ideas
on projects that could help boost the

universities in Europe, United States,

Dr Moideen.
The Thumbay Research Institute of
Precision Medicine Research is the hub
for postgraduate studies in Biomedical
Sciences, translational research, and
innovation. The university is also
offering Doctor of Philosophy in
Precision Medicine in collaboration
with Université Paris Saclay. At Gulf
Medical University, the unflinching
commitment to quality of education
provided and the world-class
infrastructure and facilities ensure that
students gain the best professional
knowledge. Furthermore, the
university's unique Summer Training
Program readies its students to deal
with professional challenges, in
addition to widening the horizons of
their knowledge and providing them
the potential of unrivalled
employability.
A Revolutionary Way to Educate
Since Gulf Medical University has
been a pioneer in the health professions
higher education segment as first
private academic institute, GMU has
paired the 'right' courses with the
'right' formats to build students' career.
Gulf Medical University is full of
opportunities for students aspiring to
make a career in health professions.
From short-term courses, full-fledged
degrees to tie-ups with other
international colleges, students gain
learning in an environment that
emphasizes on 'learning through
doing.' The University presents a
dynamic curriculum, which provides
excellent clinical training, integrates
the health sciences with clinical
experience, and utilizes modern
technology. GMU is also one of the
most in-demand medical universities in
the Middle East region, which gets
around 8000 applications every year.
Moreover, students benefit with
adequate opportunities to showcase
their achievements through student
activities, interprofessional skills,
sporting and cultural events that train
them to be multi-disciplinary experts.
Other benefits provided to the students
include: Clinical training sites of
unmatched quality at 8 hospitals, 10
clinics, 5 labs and 48 pharmacies and a
total of 700 beds; tie-ups with other
local entities as clinical training sites
with over 400 qualified faculty, doctors
and adjunct faculty who provide one-
on-one clinical training to students and
quality care to the patients of UAE;
access to technological platforms and
an outstanding infrastructure for
research on imaging, functional
genomics, sequencing with NGS
facility.
In terms of advancing healthcare in the
UAE and globally, GMU has launched
the establishment of the first liquid
biopsy facility in the region, the zebra
fish and a platform for drug discovery
and development. This has led to
achieving its position as a leader in
research in medical education in UAE
and the entire region with 70 per cent
of all papers published in medical
education in the UAE coming from
GMU.
Incorporating real-world applications
into students' lesson plans, using
adaptive learning tools to personalize
their courses, and easily accessible
platforms for group learning, Gulf
Medical University is known for
offering stronger student support,
integrated technology platforms, and
structured course road maps. In
parallel, the institution also offers

robust technology infrastructure, such
as artificial intelligence and virtual
reality, to overall enhance health
professions education, thereby creating
exceptional learning experiences for
the students.
Highly qualified academicians and
experienced practitioners train the
students. Teaching methods include
traditional lectures, group projects,
individual work, practical laboratory
sessions and clinical training. GMU's
emphasis on research and clinical
training drives on the idea of emerging
as one of the leading research-based
universities in the region. The students
at Gulf Medical University are given
the opportunity to learn from the best
faculty in classrooms, gain first-hand
on-job insights at the teaching hospital
of the group, develop their awareness
of healthcare business operations, and
enhance critical patient-management
skills, such as positive inter-profession
collaboration and communication.
The research-based approach to
learning, early exposure to clinical
cases and patients and being mentored
by some of the leading professionals-
cum-academicians gives Gulf Medical
University graduates the competitive
edge over the others. "Our prolific
team headed by the chancellor of Gulf
Medical University, Professor Hossam
Hamdy, teachers and doctors ensure
that students receive first-hand training
at our teaching hospitals, assist in
developing critical and reasoning skills
that will be assets to their personal
growth going forward," adds Dr
Moideen.
Moreover, the university's Alumni
Society provides support to new
graduates in their career-search,
through personal/career counselling,
help in CV/resume preparation,
empowering them for handling job
interviews, preparing documents for
residency programs and employment,

training. In addition, a big lot of GMU
alumni are pursuing high-flying
medical careers in USA, UK, Middle
East countries, Canada, Australia,
India, and Pakistan, etc. Many of the
students also enroll for higher studies,
in their chosen areas of specialization.
Around 22 per cent of its graduates are
admitted to US medical schools for
further training.
A University That Celebrates
Diversity, Nurtures Global
Ambitions
The Middle East region today has
several opportunities for well-trained
healthcare professionals. The
healthcare sector of the region is
witnessing dramatic changes in scope,
expansion, and investments. In the
UAE alone, Gulf Medical University
and its network of pioneering teaching
hospitals train around 60 per cent of
the medical professionals in the
country.
Some of the key offerings for an
international student include
internationally recognized curriculum,
own teaching hospitals at Ajman,
Dubai, Sharjah & Fujairah established
research division, innovation centre,
state-of-the-art simulation dental
laboratories, simulation centre/clinical
skills lab, library community health
programs and clinical training at
different sites across the UAE. All
programs are approved and accredited
by Ministry of Higher Education and
Scientific Research (MOHESR), hostel
and sports facilities, student cohort
from over 90 Countries, most modern
computerized testing centre, great
career prospects, well-organized
alumni network of highly placed
healthcare professionals around the
world and more.
Gulf Medical University's student
affairs department acts as a bridge to
reflect the needs of international
students to university administration.
"We aim to enhance international
student experience, promote cultural
diversity and inclusivity in Gulf
Medical University through events and
service. It helps, furthermore, to
involve students in the University
community by providing appropriate
student organizations, activities,
publications, and opportunities for
interaction with faculty, staff, and
peers outside the classroom," speaks
Dr Moideen.
The office of Student Affairs
coordinates all matters concerning
Graduate Student Council, Student
Welfare, Career Guidance, Alumni
Affairs, Student Health, Placement,
Student Discipline, Residential Halls,
Transportation, Student Publication,
Student Activities and Sports. Students
may approach the Dean/Associate
Dean – Student Affairs to resolve
issues regarding student affairs and
student support services.
The country's visionary leadership has
established an excellent education
system. The universities attract
overseas students in large numbers on
account of their modern, state-of-the-
art infrastructure, most advanced
curriculums, economic tuition fees and
expenses, the futuristic/cosmopolitan
image of UAE's cities, the remarkably
low crime rates, and more. With the
UAE gaining precedence for its world-
class healthcare ecosystem, so has its
popularity with students for health
professions education. Medical
tourism, too, has grown to become a
significant pillar of the UAE's
healthcare strategy.
A report by Euromonitor International
has forecast that the UAE's medical
tourism revenues will touch Dhs19bn
by 2023, particularly with the
government enabling its growth. These
offerings reflect how the healthcare
delivery system and subsequently the
requirement for qualified healthcare
professions is projected to see an
upward demand.
Envisioning a World Class Future
At Thumbay Group, a world is
envisioned in which the development
of societies center on community-
focused education, health, and
wellness-which are appropriate metrics
of the prosperity of a country. The
organisation is inspired by the
country's leadership and vision who
have continuously raised the bar for
development across every sector and
are honored to have developed
alongside the country.
Going forward too, it would like to see
itself delivering world-class and
integrated services for the community
of UAE and beyond.
Advice for Upcoming Leaders
"My best advice for anyone starting a
business would be to identify a widely
shared pain point that nobody else has
solved and create the best solution for
it. From there, you can build
complementary products and services.
Gulf Medical University is an example,
where we started with the aim to boost
education in the emirate of Ajman, get
more young people to visit the place on
daily basis and built multi-diversified
Thumbay Group from there," Dr
Moideen concludes.

thical leadership is rooted in
Eintegrity, honesty, and a
commitment to doing the right
thing, even when it's difficult or
unpopular. It's about leading by example
and creating a culture of trust and
transparency within an organisation.
Ethical leaders prioritise the well-being of
their employees, customers, and other
stakeholders rather than their own self-
interest.
Ethical leadership can profoundly impact
an organisation, both internally and
externally. Internally, it can create a sense
of purpose and meaning for employees
who feel their work contributes to the
greater good. It can also lead to increased
engagement, loyalty, and commitment
among employees, who are more likely to
be motivated by a leader who models
ethical behaviour.
Externally, ethical leadership can enhance
an organisation's reputation and
credibility. When customers, partners, and
other stakeholders see that an organisation
is led by ethical leaders who prioritise
integrity and transparency, they're more
likely to trust and support that
organisation. This, in turn, can lead to
increased loyalty, repeat business, and
referrals.
What is Ethical Leadership?
Ethical leadership is a leadership style
that prioritises ethical principles,
values, and behaviours. Ethical leaders
act with integrity, fairness, and respect
for the dignity and rights of all
individuals. They make ethical
decisions and inspire others to do the
same. Ethical leaders also create a
positive work culture that promotes
ethical behaviour, transparency, and
accountability.
Furthermore, ethical leadership
involves prioritising the organisation's
and its stakeholders' long-term interests
over short-term gains. This means
considering the ethical implications of
decisions and actions, even if they may
not immediately benefit the
organisation's bottom line.
Ethical leadership is not just about
following the law or adhering to a set
of rules. It goes beyond compliance
and involves a commitment to moral
values and principles that guide
decision-making and behaviour.
Ethical leaders are driven by a moral
compass and use ethical principles as a
framework for decision-making.
Ethical leaders also prioritise the well-
being of their employees and create a
work culture that fosters trust, respect,
and transparency. They recognise that
employees are not just a means to an
end but individuals with their own
goals, aspirations, and values. Ethical
leaders prioritise their employees'
personal and professional growth,
create opportunities for learning and
development, and foster an
environment where individuals feel
valued and respected.
Ultimately, ethical leadership is about
doing the right thing, even when it's
difficult or unpopular. It involves
taking responsibility for one's actions,
being accountable to others, and
striving to impact the world positively.
Ethical leaders are not perfect, but they
are committed to learning, growing,
and creating a work culture that reflects
their values and principles.
Ethical leadership is more critical than
ever in today's complex and ever-
changing business landscape. It is not
just a nice-to-have but an essential
component of organisational success
and sustainability. By prioritising
ethical principles and behaviours,
leaders can create a culture of trust,
respect, and accountability and inspire
their employees to do the same.
The Importance of Ethical
Leadership
Ethical leadership is crucial for the
success and sustainability of any
organisation. It fosters trust,
accountability, and transparency.
Ethical leaders set the tone for the
organisation, and their behaviour and
values influence the behaviour of
others. When leaders act with integrity
and make ethical decisions, they
inspire trust and confidence in their
followers. This, in turn, creates a
positive work environment and fosters
a culture of ethical behaviour.
Ethical leadership also promotes
positive change. Leaders who act
ethically and promote ethical
behaviour are more likely to be
perceived as credible and trustworthy.
This, in turn, increases their ability to
influence and persuade others to adopt
ethical behaviours and values. Ethical
leaders can also inspire their followers
to act in the best interests of the
organisation and society as a whole.
Cultivating Ethical Behaviour in
Leaders
Cultivating ethical behaviour in leaders
requires a commitment to ethical
principles and values. Ethical leaders
must first recognise the importance of
ethical conduct and commit to acting
with integrity and promoting ethical
behaviour in others. This requires
understanding moral principles, such
as honesty, fairness, respect, and
responsibility.
Ethical leaders must also create a
culture that supports ethical behaviour.
This involves promoting transparency,
accountability, and open
communication. Ethical leaders must
be willing to listen to feedback,
address concerns, and take
responsibility for their actions. This
creates a culture of trust and respect
that promotes ethical behaviour and
values.
Leading with Integrity
Leading with integrity requires a
commitment to ethical principles and
values. Ethical leaders must act with
honesty, fairness, and respect for
others. They must make decisions that
are in the best interests of the
organisation and society as a whole.
This requires a willingness to stand up
for what is right, even when it is
difficult or unpopular.
Leaders must also be accountable for
their actions. They must take
responsibility for their decisions and
actions and be willing to admit
mistakes and learn from them. This
promotes trust and transparency and
fosters a positive work culture.
Ethical leadership is crucial for the
success and sustainability of any
organisation. Ethical leaders inspire
trust, create a positive work culture,
and foster positive change. Cultivating
ethical behaviour in leaders requires a
commitment to ethical principles and
values. Ethical leaders must create a
culture that supports ethical conduct
and values and lead with integrity,
honesty, and respect for others. By
doing so, they can inspire trust,
promote positive change, and create a
better world for all.

Li & Fung's aspiration statement is:
"To deliver value in global supply
chains by living our values around
people, partners and planet." The
company's core values are: Humility,
Entrepreneurship and Family.
Li & Fung has been managing global
supply chains in over 50 markets for
116 years. The company stands out for
having the highest level of scalability

challenges do come with opportunities,
and the only way one can overcome
them is to tackle challenges head-on

The COVID-19 outbreak severely

For Deepika, working in the supply
chain sector has never been
monotonous. She has worked in supply
chain management for 30 years and has
seen significant changes in the sector.
However, the business has been
dealing with more dramatic and
turbulent situations in recent years. The
pandemic has taught us that disruption
is a constant, which is one of its most
important lessons. Deepika believes
that to help Li & Fung and its
stakeholders navigate these
disruptions, the only way to overcome
them is through strong, resilient, and
courageous leadership. She observes

Deepika believes that India has the
chance to go on a high-growth
trajectory in the upcoming years. The
country is a rapidly developing
industrial nation with access to vital
resources including land, water, power,
and labour, as well as favourable
regulatory environments for the growth
of the textile and garment sectors.
With a very youthful, mobile and agile
population, India has built a very
strong and highly skilled workforce
with competitive labour rates. Its
presence at all levels of the
manufacturing value chain (from fibre
to finished goods) gives India the full
potential to grow. She proudly
mentions, "India is my home country,
and I am proud to represent and raise
awareness for India's huge growth
potential as I continue to build in this
Critical Importance of ESG
Deepika envisions that the future will
place a greater emphasis on ESG. The
retail and the supply chain industry as
a whole have experienced waves of
economic and geopolitical upheavals in
recent years. Climate change issues are
becoming more prominent as a result
of extreme and unusual weather
phenomena. The necessity of creating a
more inclusive society and workplace
has been highlighted by social
movements. A growing number of
businesses are demonstrating their
dedication to creating a sustainable and
inclusive future – and Li & Fung will
continue advocating for robust
economies, societies, and ecosystems.
Deepika believes corporate leaders
must rise to the occasion and take on
this critical issue.
leadership role at a global supply
chain company."
Leading with Transparency and
Determination
As a leader herself, Deepika's advice
for upcoming leaders is to always keep
in mind that change is constant. She
asserts, "You have to continuously
review your business model to make
sure it's fit for purpose and has the
flexibility to adapt to the constantly
changing environment." She also adds
that trust and transparency are critical
between one's employees, customers,
and other stakeholders, so always
maintain clear and honest
communication. She believes in
conducting businesses that strike a
balance between making profit,
representing underserved communities,
and protecting the planet.

As a consumer analyst, he dropped by

Similarly, he used to type down the
entire financial statements of
companies in excel. "While it was
laborious, it helped me analyze
effectively as one can instantly connect
the dots," Rajesh says. Additionally, he
also got a chance to interact with some
of the best Chief Investment Officers in
the country.
Later on, upon witnessing the dynamic
and ever-changing nature of the equity
markets, Rajesh started enjoying the
field and thought to shift to the buy
side, where he was in charge of
managing the investment funds and
making investment decisions. He
joined Blackrock, where he learned
fund management in detail under the
leadership of Mr S. Nagnath and Mr
Anup Maheshwari. "Here, I was
conferred with the Platinum Fund
Manager of the Year and Gold Fund
Manager of the year awards by the
Economic Times," Rajesh shares.
After working for fifteen years, Rajesh
thought of venturing out on his own
and started his own investment fund
during the financial crisis of 2009.
Today, his company is one of the few
PMS houses with thirteen years of

the underprivileged, Rajesh is actively
associated with the 'Arham Yuva Seva
Group,' an organisation dedicated to
resolving some of the most important
problems facing today's young.
Let us dive into Rajesh's journey of
generating wealth through equity.
Journey of Equity
Rajesh reminisces, "I have been in the
Indian equity markets for more than 25
years. I still remember how I first
encountered the stock markets – my
mother used to give me Vimal coupons,
which she used to receive since she
was a shareholder of Reliance."
After finishing his education, Rajesh
initially started off on the sell side of
equities, where his role entailed the
preparation of reports on different
stocks and companies. During those
days, information was not readily
available, and the database software
industry was still evolving. For his
secondary research, he visited the

company having 13 employees and still

World Class Advisors
The vision of AlfAccurate
Advisors is to become the
most admired investment
advisor in the world. Its
mission is to provide the
best in class services to
its clients and to ensure
client satisfaction in all
areas of its business.
The company is
guided by three core
values – Trust,
Integrity, and
Passion. That
showcases its
commitment to its
clients, its team, and
the community at large
and acts as a reminder of
what matters the most.
These values foster a
results-driven and people-
focused culture at the firm:
Ÿ Relentlessly Pursue
Excellence: Bring the best of
yourself to each interaction
with your work and with your
clients.
Ÿ Remain Constantly Curious: A
forward-looking, ever-learning,
tenacious and thorough approach
should drive creativity and growth
for clients and yourself.
Ÿ Always Act Ethically: A principle-
based decision-making and high
standards of corporate governance
ensure that the client's best interests
are always kept in mind.
Word of Mouth Growth
Entrepreneurship is challenging. The
word 'PMS' was not widely recognized
and respected during the time Rajesh
started. Hence, he and his team put in a
lot of time and energy to explain to
investors the concept of PMS. Despite
their efforts, many used to refrain from
investing in equities. However, with
perseverance, they were slowly and
steadily able to grow by fostering their
relationship with existing clients, due
to increasing trust in their company's
services.
The name of the company spread
eventually by word of mouth. Rajesh
says, "We have always been ethical,
honest, and upfront with our clients,
which resulted in our existing clients
recommending other clients. We have
seen some ups and downs, but we are
able to sleep peacefully at night since
we always keep the client’s interest
first."
On the Global Stage
Rajesh’s representations at the global
platforms usually pertain to
governance, investments, finance,
economics, and related disciplines. He
is invited to present his views on the

economy or the capital markets and
guide the viewers on how to make
better financial decisions. So far, he has
been invited to the following events to
speak:
Ÿ Invited to Maharashtra Economic
Summit to present views on Indian
Infrastructure.
Ÿ Invited by the Institute of Directors
to present views on Governance
Deficit.
Ÿ Invited by World Council for
Corporate Governance to present
views on Governance.
Ÿ Elected on the advisory panel of the
World CSR forum.
Ÿ Invited by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India UAE (Dubai)
to present outlook on Investments.
Having spoken and gained experience
at a global level, the major difference
that Rajesh finds between the Indian
and foreign education space is the way
of teaching. He explains, "Abroad, the
education system is more application-
based with teachers focusing on
ensuring that students apply the
concepts learned correctly. On the
other hand, in India, the education
system lays more emphasis on concept-
based learning, which aims to teach a
wide variety of concepts across a
range of disciplines to students. Each
style has its strengths and weaknesses
and carves out differently in different
students."
Communicating India's Growth
Prospects
One major factor that motivates Rajesh
to keep representing India at the global
level is the lack of awareness about
India's growth story and growth
prospects. Currently, India attracts
significantly lower FDI as compared to
China – presenting a huge investment
opportunity. Many advantages play a
role here – a vibrant democracy, the
right demographics, a strong legal
framework, and an increasing

specifically targeting families and kids
in Maharashtra." ARHAM's activities
include waste collection, education in
Indian rural areas, healthcare and
dialysis centers, and so on.
Future and Advice
For AlfAccurate Advisors, Rajesh
envisions a future of being an admired
investment advisor globally. He wishes
to see his company recognized for its
values and culture. He also wishes that
his company becomes globally reputed
for being one of the most ethical and
trustworthy investment management
companies.
Rajesh concludes by sharing a piece of
wisdom for the new rising leaders in
the industry, "Remember – Rome was
not built in a day. Perseverance, that
is, consistent efforts would lead you to
your goal and pave the way for your
bright future."
entrepreneurial culture. Certain
indicators, such as the growth in PLI,
reducing inflationary pressures, and a
strong and resilient economy, make
India an attractive business hub.
Rajesh says, "Increasing awareness
about the same could probably lead to
an increase in demand for Indian
goods, thereby further enhancing
Foreign Direct Investment. I
recommend future leaders follow their
passion, find out their niche, and do
their best at that niche. Doing so would
immensely add value to them and also
add value to several stakeholders
interested in knowing the initiatives of
such leaders."
Community Giving
Rajesh thinks that the company has an
inherent duty to not only enhance the
lives of its clients but to enrich the
communities in which they live
through volunteerism, civic
engagement, and philanthropic
initiatives. Consequently, AlfAccurate
Advisors has a long history of giving
back to the community.
Rajesh remarks, "We are proud to

Factors
Visionary
compelling personal vision that guides
their actions and decisions. This
personal vision serves as the
foundation for the leader's
organizational vision, providing a
roadmap for the leader to inspire and
motivate their followers towards a
shared goal.
Having a personal vision allows a
leader to communicate their values and
beliefs to their followers and helps
them to understand how they fit into
the bigger picture.
Visionary leadership is an
important leadership style that
has gained popularity in recent
times. This type of leadership is
characterized by leaders who have a
clear and compelling vision of the
future and who are able to inspire and
motivate their followers towards
achieving this vision.
Personal Vision
Personal vision is a critical factor that
influences visionary leadership. A
visionary leader must have a clear and
|February 2023

Charting New Paths
The Knowledge Review | 33
By having a personal vision, a leader
can connect with their followers on a
deeper level, building trust and
inspiring loyalty.
Personal vision also enables a leader to
be authentic in their leadership style.
Authenticity is vital in inspiring
followers, as it allows leader to build
trust and credibility with their
followers.
Emotional Intelligence
Leaders who possess high emotional
intelligence have the ability to
recognize, understand, and manage
their own emotions, as well as the
emotions of others. This skill allows
them to connect with their followers on
a deeper level, building trust and
inspiring loyalty. Emotional
intelligence enables a leader to respond
appropriately to the needs and
emotions of their followers, which is
essential for motivating them towards
achieving the shared vision.
Leaders with high emotional
intelligence are adept at managing their
own emotions. They can remain calm
and composed even in high-pressure
situations, which allows them to make
rational decisions and communicate
effectively with their followers. This
ability to regulate their own emotions
enables them to stay focused on the
long-term goals of the organisation,
despite any short-term setbacks or
challenges.
Creativity and Innovation
A visionary leader must also be
creative and innovative. They must be
able to think outside the box and come
up with new and unique solutions to
problems. This requires a willingness
to take risks and a tolerance for failure.
A leader who is not willing to take
risks or tolerate failure may miss out
on opportunities for innovation and
growth.
Strategic Thinking
Visionary leaders must also be
strategic thinkers. They must be able to
see the big picture and anticipate future
trends and challenges. This requires a
deep understanding of the
organisation's strengths and
weaknesses and the external
environment in which it operates. A
leader who lacks strategic thinking
skills may be unable to develop a clear
and effective vision for the future.
Communication Skills
Effective communication is another
factor that influences visionary
leadership. A leader who is able to
communicate their vision clearly and
persuasively is more likely to inspire
their followers towards achieving that
vision. This requires strong verbal and
written communication skills and the
ability to listen actively and respond
appropriately to feedback.
Adaptability
A visionary leader must be able to
adjust their vision and strategy in
response to changing circumstances.
They must be willing to be flexible and
open-minded, as well as the ability to
learn from mistakes and failures. An
adaptable leader is one who can
navigate through unpredictable
situations, deal with unexpected
obstacles, and still find ways to achieve
their goals.
In today's fast-paced and ever-
changing business environment, the
ability to adapt is essential for leaders
to remain competitive and successful.
Leaders who can adapt to change
quickly and effectively can keep their
organisation relevant, innovative, and
profitable. By embracing change,
visionary leaders can open up new
opportunities for growth, attract new
customers, and improve overall
organizational performance.
Courage and Resilience
Finally, visionary leaders must have
courage and resilience. They must be
willing to take bold action in pursuit of
their vision, even in the face of
adversity and opposition. This requires
a willingness to stand up for what they
believe in, even when it is unpopular or
goes against the status quo. It also
requires resilience in the face of
setbacks and failures and the ability to
bounce back from these setbacks and
continue to pursue their vision.
In conclusion, visionary leadership is
an important leadership style that can
help organizations achieve their goals
and reach new heights of success. To
be an effective visionary leader, one
must possess a clear and compelling
personal vision, high emotional
intelligence, creativity and innovation,
strategic thinking skills, effective
communication skills, adaptability,
courage and resilience. By
understanding and developing these
factors, leaders can chart new paths for
their organizations, inspire their
followers towards a shared vision, and
achieve lasting success.

Dr Moideen proposed an educational institution modelled on the likes of a similar establishment he had seen in the state of Karnataka in India. The plan was highly appreciated, and he was soon invited to initiate and lead the creation of a medical academic center in Ajman. While Dr Moideen had no prior experience about this segment at the time, he saw a great potential in the inherent idea and decided to pursue it and scale up further. A year later, Gulf Medical College was established, and ever since it has grown leaps and bounds and become one of the most sought-after private medical universities in the GCC region. 60 per cent of the health professionals trained in the UAE are alumni of this prestigious university. It's not only doctors, but also nurses, dental, physiotherapy, among others. Emphasizing on the evolution and development of the Gulf Medical University in terms of buildings, staff, students and scientific and educational degrees, Dr Moideen states, "From humble beginnings as the region's first private medical University, today Health care is vital to all some of the me, but public health is vital to all, all of the me. Healthcare is the future. Though the current healthcare system suffers from many challenges. While functionally adequate there are several shortcomings that become a major obstacle when the system is under a lot of pressure. These issues are not only of deficient healthcare facilities but also in the form of a severe lack of healthcare professionals. One of the individuals who is addressing these challenges and constructing a brighter future for the healthcare industry is Dr Thumbay Moideen, Founder and President of the Thumbay Group. He established the Gulf Medical University (GMU), which provides the full spectrum of the health education system. Backed by an array of collaborative healthcare programs, a fully owned and managed private academic hospital, and state-of- the-art infrastructure, Gulf Medical University's educational model is one of the biggest success stories in the MENA region. Established by Dr Moideen, the inception story of Gulf Medical University (GMU) has become legendary in business circles across UAE.

Furthermore, the university's unique Summer Training Program readies its students to deal with professional challenges, in addition to widening the horizons of their knowledge and providing them the potential of unrivalled employability.

From short-term courses, full-fledged degrees to tie-ups with other international colleges, students gain learning in an environment that emphasizes on 'learning through doing.' The University presents a dynamic curriculum, which provides excellent clinical training, integrates the health sciences with clinical experience, and utilizes modern technology. GMU is also one of the most in-demand medical universities in the Middle East region, which gets around 8000 applications every year. Moreover, students benefit with adequate opportunities to showcase their achievements through student activities, interprofessional skills, sporting and cultural events that train them to be multi-disciplinary experts. Other benefits provided to the students include: Clinical training sites of unmatched quality at 8 hospitals, 10 clinics, 5 labs and 48 pharmacies and a total of 700 beds; tie-ups with other local entities as clinical training sites with over 400 qualified faculty, doctors and adjunct faculty who provide one- on-one clinical training to students and quality care to the patients of UAE; access to technological platforms and an outstanding infrastructure for research on imaging, functional genomics, sequencing with NGS facility. In terms of advancing healthcare in the UAE and globally, GMU has launched the establishment of the first liquid biopsy facility in the region, the zebra fish and a platform for drug discovery and development. This has led to achieving its position as a leader in research in medical education in UAE and the entire region with 70 per cent of all papers published in medical education in the UAE coming from GMU.

Around 22 per cent of its graduates are admitted to US medical schools for further training. A University That Celebrates Diversity, Nurtures Global Ambitions The Middle East region today has several opportunities for well-trained healthcare professionals. The healthcare sector of the region is witnessing dramatic changes in scope, expansion, and investments. In the UAE alone, Gulf Medical University and its network of pioneering teaching hospitals train around 60 per cent of the medical professionals in the country. Some of the key offerings for an international student include internationally recognized curriculum, own teaching hospitals at Ajman, Dubai, Sharjah & Fujairah established research division, innovation centre, state-of-the-art simulation dental laboratories, simulation centre/clinical skills lab, library community health programs and clinical training at different sites across the UAE.

Gulf Medical University's student affairs department acts as a bridge to reflect the needs of international students to university administration. "We aim to enhance international student experience, promote cultural diversity and inclusivity in Gulf Medical University through events and service. It helps, furthermore, to involve students in the University community by providing appropriate student organizations, activities, publications, and opportunities for interaction with faculty, staff, and peers outside the classroom," speaks Dr Moideen. The office of Student Affairs coordinates all matters concerning Graduate Student Council, Student Welfare, Career Guidance, Alumni Affairs, Student Health, Placement, Student Discipline, Residential Halls, Transportation, Student Publication, Student Activities and Sports. Students may approach the Dean/Associate Dean – Student Affairs to resolve issues regarding student affairs and student support services. The country's visionary leadership has established an excellent education system. The universities attract overseas students in large numbers on account of their modern, state-of-the- art infrastructure, most advanced curriculums, economic tuition fees and expenses, the futuristic/cosmopolitan image of UAE's cities, the remarkably low crime rates, and more. With the UAE gaining precedence for its world- class healthcare ecosystem, so has its popularity with students for health professions education. Medical tourism, too, has grown to become a significant pillar of the UAE's healthcare strategy. A report by Euromonitor International has forecast that the UAE's medical tourism revenues will touch Dhs19bn by 2023, particularly with the government enabling its growth. These offerings reflect how the healthcare delivery system and subsequently the requirement for qualified healthcare professions is projected to see an upward demand. Envisioning a World Class Future At Thumbay Group, a world is envisioned in which the development of societies center on community- focused education, health, and wellness-which are appropriate metrics of the prosperity of a country. The organisation is inspired by the country's leadership and vision who have continuously raised the bar for development across every sector and are honored to have developed alongside the country. Going forward too, it would like to see itself delivering world-class and integrated services for the community of UAE and beyond. Advice for Upcoming Leaders "My best advice for anyone starting a business would be to identify a widely shared pain point that nobody else has solved and create the best solution for it. From there, you can build complementary products and services. Gulf Medical University is an example, where we started with the aim to boost education in the emirate of Ajman, get more young people to visit the place on daily basis and built multi-diversified Thumbay Group from there," Dr Moideen concludes.
  • 19. E Champions of Change The Knowledge Review | 17 thical leadership is rooted in Eintegrity, honesty, and a commitment to doing the right thing, even when it's difficult or unpopular. It's about leading by example and creating a culture of trust and transparency within an organisation. Ethical leaders prioritise the well-being of their employees, customers, and other stakeholders rather than their own self- interest. Ethical leadership can profoundly impact an organisation, both internally and externally. Internally, it can create a sense of purpose and meaning for employees who feel their work contributes to the greater good. It can also lead to increased engagement, loyalty, and commitment among employees, who are more likely to be motivated by a leader who models ethical behaviour. Externally, ethical leadership can enhance an organisation's reputation and credibility. When customers, partners, and other stakeholders see that an organisation is led by ethical leaders who prioritise integrity and transparency, they're more likely to trust and support that organisation. This, in turn, can lead to increased loyalty, repeat business, and referrals.
  • 20. What is Ethical Leadership? Ethical leadership is a leadership style that prioritises ethical principles, values, and behaviours. Ethical leaders act with integrity, fairness, and respect for the dignity and rights of all individuals. They make ethical decisions and inspire others to do the same. Ethical leaders also create a positive work culture that promotes ethical behaviour, transparency, and accountability. Furthermore, ethical leadership involves prioritising the organisation's and its stakeholders' long-term interests over short-term gains. This means considering the ethical implications of decisions and actions, even if they may not immediately benefit the organisation's bottom line. Ethical leadership is not just about following the law or adhering to a set of rules. It goes beyond compliance and involves a commitment to moral values and principles that guide decision-making and behaviour. Ethical leaders are driven by a moral compass and use ethical principles as a framework for decision-making. Ethical leaders also prioritise the well- being of their employees and create a work culture that fosters trust, respect, and transparency. They recognise that employees are not just a means to an end but individuals with their own goals, aspirations, and values. Ethical leaders prioritise their employees' personal and professional growth, create opportunities for learning and development, and foster an environment where individuals feel valued and respected. Ultimately, ethical leadership is about doing the right thing, even when it's difficult or unpopular. It involves taking responsibility for one's actions, being accountable to others, and striving to impact the world positively. Ethical leaders are not perfect, but they are committed to learning, growing, and creating a work culture that reflects their values and principles. Ethical leadership is more critical than ever in today's complex and ever- changing business landscape. It is not just a nice-to-have but an essential component of organisational success and sustainability. By prioritising ethical principles and behaviours, leaders can create a culture of trust, respect, and accountability and inspire their employees to do the same. The Importance of Ethical Leadership Ethical leadership is crucial for the success and sustainability of any organisation. It fosters trust, accountability, and transparency. Ethical leaders set the tone for the organisation, and their behaviour and values influence the behaviour of others. When leaders act with integrity and make ethical decisions, they inspire trust and confidence in their followers. This, in turn, creates a positive work environment and fosters a culture of ethical behaviour. Ethical leadership also promotes positive change. Leaders who act ethically and promote ethical behaviour are more likely to be perceived as credible and trustworthy. This, in turn, increases their ability to influence and persuade others to adopt ethical behaviours and values. Ethical leaders can also inspire their followers to act in the best interests of the organisation and society as a whole. Cultivating Ethical Behaviour in Leaders Cultivating ethical behaviour in leaders requires a commitment to ethical principles and values. Ethical leaders must first recognise the importance of ethical conduct and commit to acting with integrity and promoting ethical behaviour in others. This requires understanding moral principles, such as honesty, fairness, respect, and responsibility. Ethical leaders must also create a culture that supports ethical behaviour. This involves promoting transparency, accountability, and open communication. Ethical leaders must be willing to listen to feedback, address concerns, and take responsibility for their actions. This creates a culture of trust and respect that promotes ethical behaviour and values. Leading with Integrity Leading with integrity requires a commitment to ethical principles and values. Ethical leaders must act with honesty, fairness, and respect for others. They must make decisions that are in the best interests of the organisation and society as a whole. This requires a willingness to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult or unpopular. Leaders must also be accountable for their actions. They must take responsibility for their decisions and actions and be willing to admit mistakes and learn from them. This promotes trust and transparency and fosters a positive work culture. Ethical leadership is crucial for the success and sustainability of any organisation. Ethical leaders inspire trust, create a positive work culture, and foster positive change. Cultivating ethical behaviour in leaders requires a commitment to ethical principles and values. Ethical leaders must create a culture that supports ethical conduct and values and lead with integrity, honesty, and respect for others. By doing so, they can inspire trust, promote positive change, and create a better world for all. |February 2023 18

Having spoken and gained experience at a global level, the major difference that Rajesh finds between the Indian and foreign education space is the way of teaching. He explains, "Abroad, the education system is more application- based with teachers focusing on ensuring that students apply the concepts learned correctly. On the other hand, in India, the education system lays more emphasis on concept- based learning, which aims to teach a wide variety of concepts across a range of disciplines to students. Each style has its strengths and weaknesses and carves out differently in different students." Communicating India's Growth Prospects One major factor that motivates Rajesh to keep representing India at the global level is the lack of awareness about India's growth story and growth prospects. Currently, India attracts significantly lower FDI as compared to China – presenting a huge investment opportunity. Many advantages play a role here – a vibrant democracy, the right demographics, a strong legal framework, and an increasing fortunate, some of which are specifically targeting families and kids in Maharashtra."

Certain indicators, such as the growth in PLI, reducing inflationary pressures, and a strong and resilient economy, make India an attractive business hub.

I recommend future leaders follow their passion, find out their niche, and do their best at that niche. Doing so would immensely add value to them and also add value to several stakeholders interested in knowing the initiatives of such leaders." Community Giving Rajesh thinks that the company has an inherent duty to not only enhance the lives of its clients but to enrich the communities in which they live through volunteerism, civic engagement, and philanthropic initiatives. Consequently, AlfAccurate Advisors has a long history of giving back to the community.
