Theme: Core competencies or real leadership: where’s the greatest need?
Leaders new to their roles in the past 2 – 3 years in healthcare organizations are so numerous that it can be challenging to know where to start to provide the training and support that they need.
A key question, particularly for new leaders, is how much of what they need most are core competencies – essential to do their jobs – versus real leadership capabilities?
Indeed, the LEADS Framework involves both.
HR, organizational development (OD), and learning and professional development (L/PD) specialists are uniquely positioned to propose priority areas for leadership development and integration and to share relevant insights, challenges, and effective strategies.
All HR/OD/LPD specialists are invited to join Dr. Jaason Geerts, Vice-President of Research and Leadership Development at the College, to engage with their colleagues nation-wide in an exclusive Think Tank entitled, “Core competencies or real leadership: where’s the greatest need?”
The session involves a brief pre-session survey, as well as:
Part 1:
12:00 – 12:20: a presentation by Dr. Geerts on current trends, research findings, and thought leadership related to leadership development and integration
12:20 – 12:40: small-group discussions regarding priorities for leader development and effective strategies
12:40 – 12:55: full-group debrief of the small-group discussions.
12:55 – 1:00: information and next steps.
**Optional (but included in registration)
Part 2:
1:00 – 1:30: small-group discussions and a full-group debrief on Talent Optimization and leadership integration system-wide.
The session takes place on Wednesday, October 8th from 12:00 – 1:00 (ET) for Part 1, with Part 2 extending until 1:30 p.m.
