Dr. Devi Shetty, founder of Narayana Health, has set an inspiring example of humility and strategic decision-making in the healthcare industry. Known for revolutionizing affordable heart surgeries in India, Dr. Shetty continually credits his team, cultivating a culture of collaboration and trust. His groundbreaking decision to adopt a high-volume, low-cost model has made life-saving heart surgeries accessible to millions, setting a global standard for equitable patient care.

An example of his humility was when he publicly emphasized that every surgery is a team effort, despite being recognized as one of the world’s top cardiac surgeons. This selfless approach helped foster a sense of teamwork and mutual respect within Narayana Health. His strategic focus on affordable healthcare wasn’t just a reactionary move but a deliberate choice to serve a greater population in need, making Narayana Health a beacon of accessible healthcare globally.

Padmasree Warrior, the former CTO of Cisco, has demonstrated strategic vision and the power of humility in the fast-paced tech industry. She successfully led Cisco’s transformation from a hardware-based company to one that embraced cloud and software solutions, positioning the company for long-term success in an increasingly digital world.

A key example of her strategic foresight was her early advocacy for the Internet of Everything (IoE), propelling Cisco to the forefront of IoE solutions. Her humility was equally striking—despite being one of the few female CTOs in the tech industry, she prioritized mentoring and uplifting other women in technology, proving that leadership is as much about empowering others as it is about driving innovation.

Both Dr. Shetty and Padmasree Warrior illustrate that true leadership blends humility with strategic thinking. Dr. Shetty’s collaborative culture at Narayana Health mirrors Warrior’s mentorship-driven approach at Cisco. Meanwhile, their forward-looking decisions—whether making healthcare accessible or preparing for the digital shift—have had long-lasting impacts. Their leadership styles offer valuable lessons in staying ahead while empowering those around them.
