✨ Our newest episode: Leading a People‑First Senior Living Organization, Part 2 is live! https://bit.ly/4gLIFHJ ✨

In this conversation, Agecare CEO Salimah Walji‑Shivji joins Heather to talk about what people‑first leadership really looks like at scale—keeping teams engaged in a fast‑changing sector, challenging myths about seniors' care, and using technology and AI to create more space for human connection, not less.

They dive into staff retention, multi‑generational teams, on‑the‑ground site visits, “Lunch with Salimah,” and how cross‑training and succession planning help build sustainable operations where people want to stay and grow.

For Agecare CEO Salimah Walji‑Shivji, effective leadership starts with one simple discipline: know exactly what your job is—and what it isn’t.

She’s crystal clear that her role is to:

✨Own the risk of the organization
✨Manage external stakeholder relationships
✨Protect and grow the brand

The board knows these are her responsibilities, and they communicate on them regularly. Everything else? That belongs with her team.

Her advice to leaders: narrow and limit your work to your true responsibilities—and then let your teams do their work. It’s not just about efficiency; it’s about trust, clarity, and preventing burnout at the top.

🧭 As a leader, where do you need to step back so your team can step up?

As AI and new technologies spread across every sector—including senior living—Agecare CEO Salimah Walji‑Shivji is clear on one thing:

“The one thing we know it’s not going to replace is the human touch and the care element of the work that we do.”

In a people-first business, tech can support workflows, data, and decisions—but it can’t replicate the relationships, empathy, and presence that residents and families rely on every day.

For leaders in healthcare and senior living, the challenge isn’t choosing between humans and AI—it’s making sure technology amplifies the human side of care, not erodes it.

🤝 How are you using technology to enhance—not replace—the human touch in your organization?

When asked to describe her leadership in three words, Agecare CEO Salimah Walji-Shivji doesn’t hesitate:

➡️ Driven
➡️ Caring
➡️ Responsive

She talks about being accessible, pushing hard on the things within her purview, and making sure that when people need her, she’s there. For a leader overseeing a national senior living organization, that mix of urgency and empathy is intentional—not accidental.

It’s a powerful reflection exercise for any leader:

🔎 If your team had to describe your leadership in three words, what would you hope they’d say—and what would they actually say?

When Agecare CEO Salimah Walji-Shivji looks back, she never envisioned herself in the CEO role—and she’s not alone.

She points out that with kids, we often talk about becoming teachers, vets, doctors, or programmers… but rarely about becoming CEOs or senior leaders. From a business perspective, it’s simply not presented as an option, especially for many young women and underrepresented groups.

Salimah’s message is simple: we should talk about it more. Leadership is a real, attainable path for far more people than we acknowledge—and it starts with the careers we normalize for the next generation.

💬 What career paths do you actively name for the young people in your life?

🎧 New Episode Drop: “Leading a People-First Senior Living Organization”

Our latest Mission in Motion episode is now live, featuring Salimah Walji‑Shivji, CEO of AgeCare, in conversation with our founder and CEO Heather Maxwell.

In this episode, Salimah shares how her path through retail, clinical social work, and health law has shaped her approach as an “accidental CEO” leading one of Canada’s prominent senior living organizations. Together, they explore:

- What it means to run a truly people-first senior living organization
- How to empower frontline teams while maintaining consistency across a national portfolio
- The realities of leading in the sandwich generation with teenagers and aging parents
- Why clarity of roles, values, and mission is essential in senior living, long-term care, and healthcare

👉 If you’re a leader in senior living, long-term care, or healthcare, we invite you to listen, share this episode with your leadership team, and discuss one change you might make to lead more “people-first” in your own organization.

The lessons that shape great leaders often begin long before the boardroom.

At just 15 years old, Salimah Walji-Shivji KC, ICD.D, discovered something that stayed with her throughout her career: even the busiest and most demanding workdays become meaningful when you're surrounded by supportive colleagues and a positive workplace culture.

In this clip from the latest episode of Mission in Motion, Salimah shares how that early experience influenced her perspective on leadership, teamwork, and creating environments where people can thrive.

🎙️ The full episode drops this Friday—stay tuned!

The strongest teams are not made up of people who are all alike.
They're made up of people who understand each other's differences.

One employee may naturally enjoy detailed planning.
Another may thrive on innovation.
Another may build strong relationships.
Another may excel at influencing change.

Problems arise when leaders expect everyone to think and work exactly the same way.

Diversity of thought creates better teams
Gallup groups the 34 strengths into four domains:
-Executing
People who get things done.

-Influencing
People who inspire action and gain buy-in.

-Relationship Building
People who create trust and collaboration.
-Strategic Thinking
People who analyze, learn, and anticipate future opportunities.

Healthy teams need all four.

Questions leaders should ask
-Are we over-relying on one type of thinking?
-Which strengths are missing from our team?
-Who naturally balances another person's talents?

Practical Tip
During your next meeting, ask each participant:
"How can your strengths help this project succeed?"
You'll quickly discover new perspectives and hidden leadership potential.

Leadership Reflection
Great teams don't become stronger because everyone is the same.
They become stronger because everyone contributes differently.

Maxwell Management Group offers CliftonStrengths team workshops that help organizations improve communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and overall team performance.

What if one question could change the way you lead?

Instead of asking team members where they need to improve, try asking:
"What work gives you energy?"
The answer often reveals more than a performance review ever could.

When people spend more time using their natural strengths, they feel more engaged, motivated, and empowered to contribute. Leaders gain a deeper understanding of what drives their teams, creating opportunities for stronger collaboration, better performance, and greater job satisfaction.

At Maxwell Management Group, we believe leadership starts with understanding people. Through CliftonStrengths, executive coaching, and customized leadership development, we help organizations uncover the strengths that drive high-performing teams.

What's one question you ask to better understand your team? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

For decades, we've been taught that growth comes from fixing our weaknesses.

We try to improve the skills that don't come naturally, hoping they'll eventually become our greatest assets.

But what if leadership development started from a different place?

Gallup's CliftonStrengths research found that exceptional performance comes from developing our natural talents into strengths—not trying to become average at everything.

When people spend more time using their strengths, they become more engaged, more confident, and more productive. Organizations benefit from stronger collaboration, improved performance, and higher employee retention.

The question for leaders isn't, "How do I fix my people?"

It's, "How do I help my people do more of what they naturally do best?"

At Maxwell Management Group, we help organizations unlock the full potential of their people through CliftonStrengths coaching, leadership development, and customized team workshops.
