Leadership is in transition. In healthcare organizations across the country, upwards of 75% of positional leaders are new to their roles in the past two to three years, many of whom have received little to no leadership development to prepare them for this transition.
But what leadership capabilities do they need most?
A recent exclusive Think Tank for human resources (HR), organizational development (OD), and leadership development specialists and researchers indicated that the top training priority is leadership and management fundamentals (the “timeless”), covering all domains of the LEADS in a Caring Environment Framework (LEADS), with particular emphasis on Lead Self, Engage Others, and Achieve Results.
At the same time, the looming tariffs and economic crisis indicates that COVID-like adaptive leadership may be critically important.
The LEADS Framework is presently being refreshed through a robust process to explore what updates are essential to ensure it remains current in the evolving healthcare context (“what’s new?”). Similarly, a key theme of the upcoming CCHL Leadership Integration Forum (CLIF) is “Leadership 2035: which kinds of leaders with which capabilities and backgrounds will we need to lead healthcare in the decade to come?”
To explore these topics, the Certified Health Executive (CHE) Program is pleased to present an interactive exclusive webinar for CCHL Strategic Alliance partners, led by the CCHL’s Dr. Jaason Geerts, Vice-President of Research and Leadership Development, entitled, “Leadership for 2035: Timeless or New?”.
Informed by CCHL’s ongoing international and academic and rapid research, this high-engagement session will present key findings from the Think Tank report, themes from participants’ pre-event survey responses, highlights from the CIHR-funded crisis leadership model, and elements of CCHL’s equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (IDEA) work, among other thoughts on effective leadership moving forward.
Based on the discussion and participants’ observations of outstanding leaders a level up from where they are, the session will conclude by enabling participants to identify and commit to next steps that they can apply in their work to lead more effectively and advance their career goals.
This webinar is the eighth in a series of semi-annual engagements exclusive to faculty, staff, members, and students of CCHL’s Strategic Alliance partners.
