Why health and care leadership matters
Strong leadership is the cornerstone of delivering exceptional health and care services that meet population needs. Leaders in health and social care face unprecedented pressure, complexity and change, requiring them to embrace uncertain environments, build partnerships beyond organisational boundaries and navigate complex regulatory landscapes. Strong leaders manage resources for the greater good and bring more joined-up quality services, whilst enhancing staff capability and wellbeing.
Leader assessment challenges
Multiple leadership behaviour frameworks
With numerous possible sources, how do you decide on your frame of reference, without making it horribly complicated or losing focus on behaviours that matter?
Future-fit
How do you ensure the leadership behaviours you assess today will have longevity in the ever-changing world of health and social care, so appointees can meet future leadership demands?
Over-reliance on interviews
Interviews can fall woefully short in providing a comprehensive view of leadership capabilities. Much deeper and more reliable insights can be gained by combining job-relevant and evidence-based selection tools.
Navigating the critical behaviours is vital, integrating them into a cohesive, practical and consistent assessment approach that will increase the likelihood of selecting robust leaders for your organisation.
