How Important is Gender in Leadership in Pharmacovigilance? Personal Reflections from the First Female President of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance

By Selina Tusitala Marsh

You’re a leader-in-the-making, you’re making history

Redefining this nation’s brown legacy

Poly-saturated activity

It’s Nafanua graduating from university

And now

In tautua, lead our community

Lead through uniqueness, your diversity

Lead through leaning, lead through learning

Lead through others, lead by earning

Your own way in the world.

Lead in alofa, lead in compassion

Lead in fun—lead in your own fashion

Lead by falling forward when you make a mistake

Lead by giving more than what you take

Lead when your strategy is a forward-looking story

Lead when the task in front of you holds no glory

Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’, let your ‘No’ be ‘No’

Lead and follow in the footsteps of your heroes

Lead by creating out of happy accidents

Lead by taking risks when there’s no precedent

Lead by following the cup-o’-tea trail

Sit, listen, eat and they’ll follow without fail

Lead by digging up diamonds in those around you

Lead when you scale the heights, then plummet to ground zero

Lead with transparency, lead with laughter

Lead in celebration, lead in disaster

Lead with your strengths, lead in honesty

Lead when you see between the lines of policy

And into people’s eyes.

Lead, even in the times you just want to follow

Lead for today, lead for tomorrow

Lead when you want to end all injustice

Lead in the crowd, lead when it’s just us

Lead when you want to revolutionise

When you no longer want to be hypnotised

By what everybody else says is right

Lead when you have your vision in sight

Lead from the front, lead from behind

Lead from the middle, wherever you find

Your standing place.

In the workplace, in the home

Lead when everyone’s watching, and when you’re alone

Lead with an eye on your dream, an eye on the rest

Lead when you can look at yourself and assess

Your weaknesses and strengths with clarity

Remembering humility and charity

Lead when you’re brave enough to ask different questions

And when the answers aren’t good enough, to raise objections

Lead and give yourself permission to fail

Lead and take the less-often-walked trail

Lead and never forget to be kind

Lead with the heart bound up with the mind

Lead with a child’s curiosity

Lead with the end goal of unity

Lead with national excellence and innovation

Lead through intimate conversation

Lead with courage and determination

Even in the face of discrimination—Lead.

Lead with balance, a sense of fair play

Lead to help others lead in this way
