Given how many leaders have changed positions in the past 2 – 3 years, most of whom have received no formal preparation for these roles, there is a widespread need to provide them with the training and support they need.
Although this demand typically falls under the bracket of “leadership development”, leader deficits in confidence or skills affecting performance appear to relate to core or management competencies, rather than leadership capabilities.
This invites two questions: what are the differences among the two sets (core/management and leadership) and which - or what combination - would be most beneficial for leaders to develop now?
This is an important discussion particularly as the LEADS Framework is being refreshed, since the current version appears to include both sets.
To explore this topic, 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 or the Basics: What's the Difference?”.
This high-engagement session will present key findings from CCHL’s ongoing international and academic and rapid research and themes from participants’ pre-event survey responses.
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 ninth in a series of semi-annual engagements exclusive to faculty, staff, members, and students of CCHL’s Strategic Alliance partners.
