Pinpoint your leadership strengths and develop strategies for professional and personal growth.

Your ability to lead has never been more critical or more marketable than now. Rapid changes in healthcare markets and organizations demand leaders with vision, and the talent and skills to influence others in realizing that vision. Pinpoint your leadership strengths and develop strategies for professional and personal growth at ACHE’s Executive Leadership Development Program. The program combines group exercises with lectures, skill assessments and confidential individual coaching sessions to give you valuable and enlightening information about your personal style, your leadership ability and decision-making skills and your impact on others.

You will:

  • Identify your leadership strengths and development needs within the wide range of leadership approaches available to you.
  • Sharpen your observational skills to improve group and one-on-one communications and to identify and resolve interpersonal and organizational conflict.
  • Practice new skills in a secure 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 participants’ leadership abilities. Approximately eight weeks prior to the program, you will be sent and asked to complete a set of assessments before the program begins. Some are self-assessments; others are multi-rater questionnaires that are to be completed by the participants and their 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 to increase your effectiveness. This comprehensive set of assessments is an integral part of the Executive 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.

Who Should Attend

The Executive Leadership Development Program is designed for healthcare executives who play a primary role in providing strategic direction for their organizations or who are preparing for the next level of leadership.
