  • Steph Edusei on tackling ‘imposter phenomenon’ and ‘taking up space’ as a Black leader

    Steph Edusei on tackling ‘imposter phenomenon’ and ‘taking up space’ as a Black leader
    Oct 30 2025

    Steph Edusei’s leadership strategy can be encapsulated in two philosophies: “be a little bit naughty” and “push the boundaries”.


    This mindset of challenging the status quo, paired with a commitment to compassionate, human-centred leadership, defines her career trajectory from the rigid NHS structure to the caring culture of the charitable hospice sector. Edusei spent almost 20 years in the NHS, where she experienced a culture of immense pressure, constant reorganisation and a sense of being a “small cog in a huge machine”.


    Her appointment in 2020 as CEO of St Oswald’s Hospice – a charitable hospice based in the north east – presented a stark contrast.
