Leadership Development : A Must-Have for Future Success
Observations
Healthcare leaders across the continuum of care acknowledge the need for leadership development at both the personal and organizational level . The majority of respondents to our survey identified a number of priorities at both the personal and organizational level . Personally , leaders placed highest priority on developing their skills in leading organizational change . As an organization , the top priority is addressing staff issues such as retention and burnout .
The majority of respondents want online course options for their leadership development . While healthcare leaders have traditionally relied on in-person development options , both technological advances and the realities of a pandemic have coupled to change learning preferences .
While leaders see the need for development for both themselves and their organization , money may not be budgeted to support the breadth of training that leaders say they want . If leaders truly believe that leadership development is a priority for future success , they will need to take steps to fund the necessary training .
Most leaders do not have a standardized , objective method of identifying leadership potential within their own organization .
They are relying on their managers to recommend talent . These leaders may benefit from readily available tools that can accurately assess potential throughout the organization and help pinpoint specific talents to specific leadership roles .
