organizations do not offer leadership programs to help develop strong
leaders for their organization or for the next generation.
Create a Leadership Development Proposal that might be presented to
your organization's board of directors to request funding for the
creation of a leadership program.
If your organization already has a program in place, you must then
evaluate the program for its use and effectiveness. Describe the
advantages and disadvantages of the program, if it is used, and explain
how the program might be improved. Also, address how you might
involve more people and enroll them in the program.
Interview effective leaders that you know to gain insight into becoming
an effective leader and mentor. You may also interview ineffective
leaders and mentors to understand how to avoid those issues with your
program.
Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with
detailed speaker notes that might be presented to your organization's
board of directors to receive funding for the program.
Address the following questions in your plan or evaluation:
How are participants selected for the program and monitored for their
progress?
What incentives exist for participating in the program?
What are the differences among leadership theories and how might
these theories be applied to developing leaders within your leadership
program for the health care industry?
Which competencies are important for leaders in the health care
industry and why?
How are these leadership competencies acquired during the program?
