T

rue leadership is revealed when answers are not obvious. It is about setting direction, even in difficult moments, and helping people move ahead with confidence.

Anyone can lead when things are going well. The real test comes when the path forward isn't clear, when challenges pile up, and when tough decisions can't be avoided. That's when great CEOs show what they're made of. They stay calm, think clearly, and guide their teams through uncertainty.

The best leaders in 2025 understand that leadership is about people first. It's about listening more than talking, learning from mistakes, and staying true to your values even when it's hard. These CEOs don't just chase numbers. They build trust, create opportunities, and inspire others to do their best work.

What makes a CEO truly admired is the combination of vision and action. It's having big ideas but also rolling up your sleeves to make them happen. It's caring about profits and people equally. Most importantly, it's leading by example every single day.

That's why we created this special edition of Insights Success. "The Most Admired CEOs Leading the Way in 2025" features leaders who are making a real difference in their industries and communities.

ElBadry

This role allowed me to immerse myself in research and innovation, particularly in the intersection of human physiology and technology."

Alaa ElBadry CEO Sacredlotus s.r.o.

S

omewhere between the clinic and the lab, real lives are being shaped. A patient waits nervously for a procedure that could change everything. A clinician moves efficiently, balancing protocols, technology, and compassion at once. In research labs, scientists test ideas, seeking solutions that make care more effective, more humane, and more accessible. It is in these spaces where human need, knowledge, and action come together that healthcare truly comes alive.

For leaders like Alaa ElBadry, CEO of Sacredlotus s.r.o., the challenge is not just creating devices or launching programs. It is about asking questions that matter: How can research become relief? How can innovation reach the people who need it most? How can systems support both patients and clinicians in meaningful ways? This requires vision, empathy, and a deep understanding of the daily realities faced by those receiving and providing care.

Driven by ElBadry's focus, Sacredlotus operates at this intersection. Science meets application, and technology meets human need. Programs such as the Rita Balloon are more than tools. They are designed to fit into lives, support clinicians, and provide measurable improvement for patients managing obesity. Every device, every procedure, and every innovation reflects clinical rigor and careful thought, keeping the human experience at the center.

Given the state of healthcare right now, numbers and regulations are important, but so are human moments. The pause of a patient, the decision of a doctor, the insight of a scientist all matter. Leadership is measured by the ability to navigate the space between knowledge and human experience, and to guide teams in making a tangible difference. For ElBadry, this means aligning vision with practical action while always keeping the patient at the center of every decision.

Let's explore how ElBadry drives Sacredlotus to deliver innovative, patient-centered healthcare solutions with visionary leadership!

From Academia to Industry ElBadry started his professional path as a professor of biomedical engineering. "This role allowed me to immerse myself in research and innovation, particularly in the intersection of human physiology and technology," he recalls, reflecting on a period that shaped his leadership philosophy. Teaching, mentoring, and conducting research gave him a deep understanding of how scientific inquiry

could be applied to practical health solutions. During this time, he witnessed how theoretical discoveries could fail to reach patients if not paired with thoughtful application strategies, sparking his interest in bridging research and industry.

The transition from academia to industry followed naturally. He joined multiple health-tech initiatives, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on real-world clinical problems. "Each step exposed me to new layers of complexity, patient needs, medical regulations, international market dynamics, and scalable product design," he explains. These experiences offered a comprehensive perspective on healthcare innovation, highlighting that scientific discovery alone is insufficient without practical application and market strategy. Working alongside clinicians, engineers, and regulatory experts gave him a holistic sense of what it takes to turn an idea into a product that can genuinely improve patient outcomes.

Eventually, ElBadry founded Sacredlotus, creating a platform where scientific rigor, technological innovation, and a patient-centered mission intersect. The Rita Balloon program stands out as a prime example, providing a novel solution in obesity management designed for broad international use. Each step of this program, from design to clinical validation, reflects careful attention to patient comfort, efficacy, and ease of adoption for healthcare providers.

Lessons in Leadership Early career experiences taught ElBadry the value of clarity and consistency. "The most transformative lesson I've carried forward is the importance of clarity and consistency in leadership," he notes. He witnessed how ambiguity in goals, communication, or expectations could slow progress and undermine confidence. Over time, he learned to emphasize clear objectives, transparent communication, and alignment around shared values.

This philosophy is embedded in Sacredlotus' culture. Team members understand not just what they do but why it matters, empowering them to contribute decisively and confidently. Beyond performance, this clarity fosters engagement and satisfaction, as employees see the tangible impact of their work on patients' lives. When employees feel trusted and aligned with the mission, innovation and performance naturally thrive.

Each step exposed me to new layers of complexity, patient needs, medical regulations, international market dynamics, and scalable product design.”

Global Perspectives and Cultural Intelligence Expanding a health-tech company internationally requires sensitivity to diverse cultural, regulatory, and clinical landscapes. ElBadry highlights honesty, patience, and continuous learning as key to navigating these complexities.

"Healthcare systems vary widely. What resonates in Europe may not fit the needs or expectations of partners in Asia, the Middle East, or Latin America," he explains.

Trust is essential in healthcare, where credibility drives long-term success. Patience helps when managing regulatory approvals and adapting solutions to local needs.

Continuous learning ensures alignment with evolving standards and practices. These principles have guided Sacredlotus as it scales responsibly while remaining culturally responsive. ElBadry emphasizes that success in new markets comes not just from selling technology but from understanding the local challenges faced by clinicians

and patients, tailoring support and training accordingly.

Innovating with Safety and Efficacy The Rita Balloon program reflects Sacredlotus' commitment to patientcentered innovation. According to ElBadry, the company prioritizes safety, efficacy, and accessibility.

"Safety is achieved through rigorous clinical testing and adherence to international medical standards; efficacy is demonstrated by measurable outcomes and improved patient adherence; and accessibility is ensured through cost-effective design, simplified procedures, and training programs that empower clinicians globally," he says.

This approach ensures the program is both technologically advanced and practical for broad adoption. By combining innovation with patientcentered design, Sacredlotus positions itself as a leader in obesity management, redefining clinical standards and expectations.

Building a Culture of Trust and Innovation Creating the right organizational culture is as important to ElBadry as developing technology. Trust grows through transparency and open dialogue. He explains, "I believe in creating a workplace where every team member feels heard and valued. Transparent discussions about challenges, goals, and feedback encourage people to collaborate confidently."

Innovation thrives where experimentation is encouraged and mistakes are treated as learning opportunities.

Sacredlotus fosters psychological safety, allowing employees to propose bold ideas and explore solutions without fear. This culture transforms creativity and purpose into everyday work, supporting meaningful progress.

Leading Through Uncertainty Guiding a team through uncertainty requires clear strategies. ElBadry relies on three approaches to keep his team aligned and motivated during unpredictable times.

"First, anchoring the team in our mission ensures that everyone remains grounded in our purpose, even when the external environment shifts," he says. Scenario-based planning helps anticipate outcomes, enabling proactive responses. Transparent communication sustains trust and morale, ensuring the team remains confident and focused.

These practices balance foresight with empathy. Combining clarity, preparation, and open communication strengthens resilience and cohesion across the organization.

effectiveness of solutions, while technological upgrades improved precision and patient comfort. Operational improvements have prepared the company for broader international expansion in 2026.

These milestones represent more than progress, they reflect a commitment to raising global standards in obesity care.

Through research, patient-focused design, and operational excellence, Sacredlotus continues to reshape how healthcare providers and patients approach weight management.

Mentorship and Influence Mentorship has shaped ElBadry's leadership. "Their example taught me that leadership is not about authority but about service, uplifting others, fostering growth, and leading with authenticity," he reflects.

For emerging executives, he stresses values-driven leadership. Technical skills are necessary, but character, honesty, and a commitment to meaningful impact define long-term success. ElBadry shows that admiration grows naturally from purposeful action.

Bold Initiatives on the Horizon Sacredlotus is preparing to launch new tools designed to enhance precision, comfort, and accessibility across the patient journey. These innovations will enable earlier interventions, more personalized treatment paths, and broader access for providers worldwide.

Balancing Vision with Operational Demands ElBadry emphasizes integrating immediate operational needs with long-term goals. "Short-term decisions are not made in isolation; they are evaluated within the context of the company's long-term mission and strategic direction," he explains.

The company aims to set new global standards in obesity management, improving health outcomes while maintaining rigorous scientific and operational standards. These initiatives are ambitious yet grounded in a deliberate, human-centered approach.

Authentic Leadership and Sustained Admiration

Operational priorities such as product updates, regulatory compliance, and partner engagement are informed by patient feedback and real-world data. This ensures that dayto-day actions advance the broader mission of transforming obesity management globally, enabling innovation while maintaining operational stability.

Milestones of Impact The past year has marked significant achievements for Sacredlotus. Strengthened clinical partnerships validated the

ElBadry believes authentic leadership sustains lasting respect. "True admiration is not something you chase; it grows organically when your actions consistently reflect your values," he advises.

Remaining true to oneself, continuously learning, and aligning decisions with a purpose beyond personal gain are key to cultivating admiration. Integrity and impact go hand in hand, and authentic leadership naturally earns respect.

A Visionary in Motion ElBadry's career illustrates the power of combining scientific expertise with operational insight and empathy.

From academia to health-tech innovation, he has remained committed to addressing global health challenges with precision, compassion, and integrity.

True admiration is not something you chase; it grows organically when your actions consistently reflect your values."

Sacredlotus has become more than a company. It is a platform for transformative healthcare solutions, pioneering programs like the Rita Balloon that prioritize safety, efficacy, and accessibility. At its core is a leadership philosophy rooted in clarity, trust, and authenticity, ensuring innovation and human impact go hand in hand.

As the company expands globally, embracing new markets and technologies, ElBadry continues to lead with steady vision. His story is a testament to principled leadership, inspiring teams and setting a benchmark for transforming lives through science and innovation.

Embracing Diversity

THE IMPACT OF

INCLUSIVE

HEALTHCARE LEADERSHIP ON PATIENT OUTCOMES

M

edical care and high-tech gadgets are not the only aspects of modern healthcare. It is also human, cultural and the capability to comprehend various patient requirements. Inclusive leadership has turned into an important component of enhancing patient outcomes and establishing trust in communities. Effective healthcare leadership determines the manner in which organizations work, teams co-operate and patients receive care within a day-to-day setting.

Inclusive leadership in healthcare implies the importance of considering various backgrounds, views, and experiences.

When leaders provide an atmosphere of diversity respect, employees start to feel listened to and valued. This feeling of belonging enhances morale and promotes teamwork.

Good healthcare leadership understands that diversity in the workforce introduces different perspectives that have the potential of enhancing better problem solving and more considerate treatment of patients.

Patients are diverse in terms of their cultures, social, and economic backgrounds. Inclusive leaders know that such differences influence the ways patients perceive health, illness and treatment. Healthcare leadership can assist in making sure that the care plans are appropriate and respectful by fostering cultural awareness and cultural sensitivity. Patients who feel they are being understood will easily open up and take medical advice.

Among the obvious advantages of inclusive leadership, there is better patient outcomes. Multidisciplinary teams of leaders have more chances to discover care gaps and resolve health disparities. Inclusion-focused presentations of healthcare leadership usually uphold a set of policies that lessen discrimination and advance equitability in care. This results in fewer cases of incorrect diagnoses, fewer cases of care that are unsafe, and improved overall health outcomes among patients.

Staff performance is also influenced greatly by inclusive leadership. Employees will be empowered to exchange ideas and express their concerns when leaders appreciate diversity. Such an open culture enhances communication and minimizes errors. True to supportive healthcare leadership, continuous learning and collaboration are promoted and have a direct impact on patient safety and quality of care.

to acquire the knowledge of unconscious bias, cultural differences, and effective communication techniques.

Healthcare leadership can enhance the capacity to work with diverse teams and address the needs of diverse patient populations through constant development. Education is a means of converting the good intentions into action.

The other result of inclusive leadership is trust. Healthcare organizations reflecting and respecting their communities have a better chance to have patients trusting them. When diversity is embraced by the leadership on all levels, it sends a strong signal that everybody counts. Inclusionoriented healthcare leadership assists in establishing closer relationships between communities, patients, and providers.

Inclusive leadership is also helpful in healthcare.

Disciplined teams introduce diversity of opinion, which might result in innovative solutions and better service provision. Leaders who embrace new things leave room for innovations and flexibility. Innovative healthcare management realizes that not only is diversity uplifting, but it is an indispensable step towards improvement.

Inclusive leadership cannot be developed quickly and easily even with all its advantages. Barricades can be resistance to change, scarcity of resources, and ignorance. Nevertheless, when inclusive practices are invested in by an organization, benefits tend to be reaped in the long run. Even in times of difficulty, strong healthcare leadership is always centered on equity, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Finally, the concept of inclusive leadership is influential in patient outcomes and experiences of healthcare. Diversity allows organizations to offer more caring, efficient, and equal care. Inclusive healthcare leadership empowers teams, fosters trust and enhances overall health outcomes.

With the ongoing development of healthcare, inclusive leadership will be one of the main components behind the provision of care that can actually address the needs of various people.

Education and training are important in the construction of an inclusive leadership. Healthcare leaders should be ready

Science-Driven Decisions

Revolutionizing

Patient Outcomes Through Evidence-Based Care

T

he continuous transforming process in healthcare is a result of the growing science, technology, and patient demands. One of the most potent tools of such development is evidence-based care because this model is focused on making medical decisions that are connected to the relied research and real-life information.

The professionals in the field of healthcare are no longer led by an assumption or a habit, they are now relying on the established knowledge so as to lead the treatment and to contribute to the betterment of the patient.

It is basically the combination of the three essential elements of evidence-based care, i.e., clinical expertise, recent research, and the needs of a particular patient. A combination of scientific research and professional judgment enables doctors and nurses to make decisions on the treatments that have the highest chances of success. It is a moderate position that aids in achieving the fact that patients can receive the appropriate care for a particular situation.

One of the primary advantages of evidence-based care is consistency in care. Patients will receive the same quality of care at any clinic and hospital in case the healthcare choices are determined based on the research and guidelines. This will remove redundant tests, reduce fluctuation of treatment and reduce the risk of mistakes. Frequent attention to the patient creates trust and leads to a more credible healthcare system among all individuals.

Patient outcomes are another good outcome of evidencebased care. Evidence-based treatment is likely to lead to a quicker recovery time, reduced side effects and readmission rates. A case in point is when the hospitals follow the

evidence-based protocols in carrying out surgery, preventing infections, and curing chronic illnesses, patient outcomes tend to be better. These innovations indicate that the quality of life can be directly positively impacted by the decisions taken by using science.

Patients are also involved in evidenced based care. This is a strategy that fosters free interaction between the providers and patients. The doctors lay down treatment alternatives and the benefits and risks involved in each alternative depending on research. The patients are more likely to follow the care plans and develop confidence in their decision when they understand the reason why a particular form of treatment is recommended.

Evidence-based care has also been maintained with the help of technology.

The recent research is found by healthcare providers in a short period by means of data systems, clinical decision tools, and electronic health records. The applications can facilitate the comparison of the options of the treatment, following the progress of patients, and timely adjustment of the care plan. Research can be applied in real world with the aid of technology.

Effective evidence-based care presupposes training and further education. Medical knowledge changes on a consistent basis and medical practitioners must be up to date with new research and prescribing. Life-long learning helps in ensuring that research is implemented in a right and responsible way. This type of learning commitment improves skills in the profession, and the overall quality of care.

Even though it has its benefits, evidence based care can be challenging to apply. The adoption in some healthcare settings can be slowed down by few resources, time limitation, and resistance to change. Companies that actually invest in research-based practices, nevertheless, have the likelihood of benefiting in the long-run as they are able to attain cost reduction, increased efficiency and patient satisfaction.

Evidence-based care will dictate the future of healthcare in the future. The possibility of implementing scientific knowledge into the practical environment will become even greater with the growing size of the research and advancing technology. This approach helps in bridging the gap between the research and the real patient care.

In conclusion, evidence-based care is transforming the healthcare industry by ensuring that science is the key determinant in the decision-making process. It will lead to safer care, better outcomes, and better provider-patient relations. Research-based practices will enable the healthcare systems to deliver quality, compassionate, and futuristic care.
