Pinpoint leadership strengths and develop professional and personal growth strategies.
Your ability to lead has never been more critical nor more marketable than today. Facing fast-paced and disruptive changes in healthcare, organizations require leaders with vision, talent and skills to influence others in realizing that vision. ACHE's Leadership Development Program combines group exercises with lectures, skill assessments and confidential individual coaching sessions to equip you with valuable and enlightening information about your leadership ability, your personal style, decision-making skills and how you impact them.
You will:
- Identify the nature of effective leadership and uncover development needs within the wide range of leadership approaches available to you.
- Take a fresh look at your leadership skills and determine your value to an organization.
- Explore new skills in a supportive environment where you will receive immediate, confidential feedback.
- Develop your personal leadership philosophy through introspection and interaction with other participants.
Assessments and Feedback
The program’s main focus is on improving your leadership abilities. Approximately six weeks prior to the program, you will receive a set of assessments to complete before the program begins. Some are self-assessments; others are multi-rater questionnaires that are to be completed by you and your subordinates, peers and superiors. Program faculty will use the information obtained from these assessments to construct your personal profile. Using your profile, faculty will provide confidential feedback during the program to help you formulate an individualized leadership development plan designed to increase your effectiveness. This comprehensive set of assessments is an integral part of the Leadership Development Program and is a requirement for participation. As this program is highly customized to your individual leadership profile, participants can expect to devote approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to complete a series of assessments in preparation for the program.
