The document summarizes the findings of a study analyzing leadership effectiveness data from nearly 35,000 people working in the healthcare sector. The top finding is that improving the ability to lead employees and work in teams is the highest priority for leadership development. Healthcare leaders also need to gain broader experiences to develop skills in areas like self-awareness and career management. While leaders perform well in areas like adapting to change and meeting objectives, the study found gaps in competencies ranked as most important like leading employees, building relationships, and participative management. The document provides strategies for healthcare organizations and individuals to close these leadership gaps.
Sustainable Leadership Competency Model Leading To Business Growth and Develo...inventionjournals
Â
This study identified a sustainable leadership competency model leading to business growth and development for developing healthcare executives in Kolkata, India based on the Healthcare Leadership (HL) Model. Eleven chief executive officers and chief medical officers were interviewed. They considered 86% of the Healthcare Leadership (HL) competencies as very important or vital and perceived a gap in the performance of these competencies. They also identified additional vital competencies beyond the scope of the model. Participants also reported that leadership development and succession planning programs were lacking. Recommendations are to design a leadership development program using the HL model as a framework and further customizing the approach as per the organization’s unique mission, vision, strategy, values, and circumstances. The HL is offered as a general strategy for leader development that could be useful in the growth and development of Indian private healthcare industry, based on some “best practices” in the design and implementation of the leadership programs.

The diagnosis of cancer created a fear and shock to their well balanced life and most of them felt that they were a burden on their family. Respondents followed an advanced allopathic regimen of treatment and however they enquired about alternative treatment like Ayurveda, homeopathy etc. Women knew about the illness as this study was conducted in a group of population where more number of educated women took part of it and those who have access to tertiary care facilities. It was found that most of the respondents got information about treatment. The difficulty of breast cancer leads to imposition of a lot of psychosocial problems. Respondents had fear about the disease, and its recurrence and subsequently they were in regular follow-ups. Most of them know the importance of regular follow-ups, they did not have an idea about the availability of breast prosthesis which would improve their cosmetic appearance and boost their confidence and had little opportunity to indulge in group sessions. Respondents have shared their feelings with others in their sad time. In our study most of the respondents did mix freely with others post treatment and have received more support from family, however they have felt that their disease has affected their children’s marriage and relationship with their spouse. But most of them felt this disease has had effect on their children’s marriage and education. This present study has several key points. It was found that breast cancer incidence was more in urban area.

Healthcare Administration: The Managers
Healthcare in the U.S. is complex and dynamic and so are healthcare organizations. For this reason, organizations need managers to provide superior leadership. According to Buchbinder and Shanks (2017), “in health care organizations, the scope and complexity of tasks carried out in provision of services are so great that individual staff operating on their own could not get the job done” (pg. 3). Managers and leaders are necessary to ensure organizational tasks are executed to achieve organizational goals (Buchbinder & Shanks, 2017).
Healthcare managers in any organization are in a position of authority. It is through this position that healthcare managers can shape the organization by making important decisions. Decisions made by healthcare managers not only focus on ensuring that the patient receives the most appropriate, timely, and high-quality services possible, but also address achievement of performance targets that are desired by the manager (Buchbinder & Shanks, 2017). To no surprise, decisions made by an individual manager impact the organization’s overall performance. When making decisions, according to Buchbinder & Shanks (2017), managers must consider two domains, external and internal:
· External Domain
· Are influences, resources, and activities that exist outside the boundary of the organization but that significantly affect the organization.
· These factors include community needs, population characteristics, and reimbursement from commercial insurers, as well as government plans, such as the Children’s Health Insurance Plans (CHIP), Medicare, and Medicaid.
· Internal Domain:
· Areas of focus that managers need to address on a daily basis, such as ensuring the appropriate number and types of staff, financial performance, and quality of care.
· These internal areas reflec ...

Health Care is Evolving
The way we once delivered health care services, is much different than the way we do today. Where we once focused on individual patients and treating illness, today we focus on groups of patients and promoting wellness. Because of the environment in which we operate today, we strive to provide high quality services to patients in the most appropriate way that we can. Many procedures and treatments that once required an overnight stay are now done on an outpatient basis. Patient care is provided using health care teams and an integrated approach. Patients themselves are becoming more and more active in their own health care.
A variety of forces are impacting our health care delivery system and have caused this paradigm shift. Some of these include:
Forces
· Pay for performance based systems
· Technological advances
· Aging population and associated increase in chronic illness
· Diversifying population
· Supply and demand of heath professionals
· Social morbidity
· Advances in information technology and information sharing
· Globalization
In today's health care system we have a variety of organizations that provide care to patients. This includes providers, supplier organizations, and payers. No matter what type of health care organization we are talking about, the same basic processes must be accomplished by each of them.
Basic Organizational Processes
A health care organization must provide a product or service. Acquiring and maintaining physical and human infrastructure such as office space, laboratory equipment, and employees is necessary to operate and produce the product or service. To do this most effectively, the organization must consider its relationship to the environment in which it operates.
Every organization also needs management and governance. Management plans, organizes, directs, and controls, while governance oversees management and the organization as a whole. Governance helps to provide the strategic direction for the organization and holds it accountable for patient outcomes, treatment effectiveness, patient satisfaction, cost containment, and ethical and appropriate use of resources.
An organization must also be able to adapt to changing conditions both internal and external to it. This function is critical to organization success in today's rapidly changing health care environment.
Processes
· Production
· Boundary spanning
· Maintenance
· Adaptation
· Management
· Governance
Areas of Managerial Activity
The position of a health services manager encompasses many different activities. These activities can be looked at using either a micro approach or a macro approach. The micro approach looks at the individuals within an organization and issues such as motivation, leadership, groups and teams, .
1Strong leadership has always been important for healthcar.docxaulasnilda

Strong leadership has always been important for healthcare organizations,
but in today’s competitive environment it is critical. Disruptions are
emerging from every corner of the industry. Economic pressures, regulatory
changes, technological advancements, and even rising consumerism are
placing considerable demands on healthcare leaders. The opportunities
and challenges these factors create today are influencing leadership in
healthcare. B.E. Smith’s Leadership Intelligence Report, a survey of more than
800 healthcare executives, reflects the transformation currently underway.
This industry report will examine how external and internal factors are not
only impacting today’s executives, but shaping tomorrow’s leaders.
Healthcare’s changing business model is disrupting the necessary leadership competencies and
creating new and evolving leadership roles. A World Economic Forum study refers to this as a lack
of “skills stability” and asserts leaders must “anticipate and prepare for future skills requirements.”1
As Figure 1 highlights, these changes are driven by a convergence of risk, speed, complex operating
pressures, and a highly competitive market. Previously, executives were able to utilize a set of
standard competencies to effectively lead their organizations to success. Today, executives must
continually assess what skills and behaviors breed success now and in the future.
B.E. Smith’s Leadership Intelligence Report identified several attributes as most critical. (See Figure 2.)
Vision and strategy led the way, confirming the intense focus on managing for the future. Integrity,
a close second, enables leaders to establish trust and gain buy-in for often uncertain long-term
strategies. One management expert
believes that authenticity is among
the most important components of
integrity and “a foundation of all
true success and highly successful
leadership.”2

Planning and decision making are essential to efficient, effective and efficacious healthcare supply chain operations and strategies.
Leaders and managers must structure and facilitate plans that integrate well with the healthcare organization’s strategic plan and must make consistent decisions in alignment with those plans.
Creating standing operating procedures for routine and consistent operations of the supply chain allows leaders and managers to spread the operational culture at all levels of the supply chain enterprise.

Appreciative Inquiry
In the highly unpredictable global business environment, it is quite tempting to approach strategic decision making with a specific goal already in mind. In most cases, these strategies are aimed at mitigating the problems as they are problem-focused. Organizations typically focus on areas that are not working as intended while adopting a root cause mindset only to find themselves faced with a set of different, but related questions down the line. An appreciative inquiry model is one of the critical positive enterprise approaches to development and collective learning (Ruhe, Bobiak, Litaker, Carter, Wu, Schroeder, Zyzanski, Weyer, Werner, Fry, & Stange, 2011). An appreciative inquiry is a collaborative and strength-based approach that aims at changing the organizations and other human systems. One of the fundamental proponents behind the appreciative inquiry is that with time it has come to be increasingly adopted by organizations as to approach changes and growth from a problem-solving perspective. Form appreciative inquiry approach organizations should strongly focus on improving efficiency, surviving, and better performance and not just solving what is wrong, which is a deficit-based approach.
Appreciative inquiry in health care
The appreciative inquiry in the health care facility in which I work as a nurse will mainly focus on improving care services, especially to underserved women. The approach will focus on the positive and creativity as the driving forces for an improved future of healthcare services as is described and embraced for execution as an intervention for the achievement of behavioral health change at the individual levels. Guiding proponent for its application with clients is offered with an example of its use demonstrated in improving care services for the women of low economic status in improving their lifestyle.
Leadership skills to promote effective healthcare
Some of the qualities and skills that are useful in ensuring there is effective healthcare delivery include: great communication skills, being able to set the vision for the healthcare organization and emotional intelligence skills (Adair, 2016). The leaders should have people management skills which enables them to focus efforts of the healthcare workforce and resources towards a common goal. To make projects a success the leaders must have adequate knowledge and experience in project management such as budgetary skills and effective decision-making skills. Having effective analytical skills enable a leader to effectively analyze all possible alternatives that can make any project successful.

Effect of Motivation, Performance, and Empowerment on Business Effectiveness
Windsong Village Nursing and Rehabilitation can make progress through cutting edge viability and adequacy by inspiring workers. Authoritative viability as the thought of how adequate an association is in accomplishing the association's central goal. The development of representative fulfillment and inspiration think about the efficiency development and business aftereffects of the organization. Social insurance associations' prosperity relies on upon the workers, representative treatment, their abilities and skills, and their endeavors in the interest of the human services association.
Representative inspiration, which is an administrator's greatest test, is basic to the adequacy of an association. Work inspiration is a basic determinant of individual and authoritative achievements. Inspiration can assume a basic part in a large portion of the convincing difficulties confronting the workforce in the wellbeing area since inspiration connections to work, authoritative productivity, and representative inspiration as preconditions for achievement in business. To expand the worker inspiration toward the vision and mission, every association needs to place accentuation on their staff's welfare.
An motivated worker is responsive to positive objectives and goals he or she should accomplish. Inside spurred representatives have a tendency to relate their own headway to their work and association's progressions, and proactive individuals recognize openings and follow up on them, demonstrate activity, make a move, and continue on until important change happens. The prompt result of dampened representatives is no engagement at work, and the business may crumple without workforce engagement spurred on enthusiastic and otherworldly terms.
The effective utilization of individual capacities can improve execution and hierarchical picture. The social insurance workforce strongly affects wellbeing framework execution. The proprietors of an association can't accomplish their hierarchical goal all alone on the grounds that workers' individual execution significantly affects the authoritative execution. Passionate insight assumes a basic part with respect to hierarchical results, for example, work execution and occupation fulfillment, particularly when the emphasis is on human connection representatives. a representative could give an uplifting state of mind something to do by buckling down, being timely and standard to work, and contributing definitively to the satisfaction of the association's main goal through inspiration. Working groups, constantly coordinate for enhancing the execution and access to a larger amount of benefitting. Singular execution relies on upon inspiration, though execution of an association is the entirety of the individual execution of the representatives. The individual execution, which influences the.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Â
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

3. Healthcare leaders know about change. The need to adapt – as individuals, as
organizations and as an industry – is obvious. What is less apparent are the
leadership skills that are most important in today’s uncertain and complex
environment.
For decades, US-based healthcare providers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical and device firms
have been operating in a shifting landscape. Advances in technology and new standards of care, new
business models, a growing population and changing demographics have propelled ongoing change in
the healthcare sector. Regulation, access to care, cost pressures and legal and ethical considerations
add to the complexity, as does healthcare reform. In this context,
it can be difficult to know if
organizations have the leadership talent they need to set direction, create alignment and
gain commitment among employees, partners and stakeholders as they seek to provide safe, highquality patient care.
CCL analyzed leadership effectiveness data from nearly 35,000 people working in the field.
To help our healthcare clients better understand and focus the development of leaders,
This report shares the details of the study, introduces CCL’s healthcare leadership framework and
offers strategies for developing leaders.

4. introduction
The healthcare sector is experiencing significant and rapid change, with dramatic change yet to come. In an
evolving and challenging environment, healthcare organizations must ensure high levels of technical and professional expertise. At the same time, they must
develop the leadership capacity needed to adapt and
succeed in the future.

5. As part of this work, CCL has identified six essential
organizational capabilities shown in the model at the
right.
Organizations that develop a leadership strategy and culture that develop these six capabilities have a competitive advantage. To help our healthcare clients develop their leadership
strategies – specifically to develop capability No. 3, Talent Transformation – CCL conducted a study using its Benchmarks® competency framework to answer two important
questions:
1
What leadership competencies are
most important for healthcare-sector
organizations? CCL’s Benchmarks1 research has
identified 16 key leadership skills and five “derailment factors”
(warning signs that a leader’s career is in jeopardy). All the competencies are important; however, some are more
critical than others in various industries or organizations. Gaining clarity about what matters most within the
healthcare sector allows organizations to set a leadership strategy and individuals to direct their learning and
development.
2
How well do healthcare sector leaders perform those competencies? Organizations and
individual leaders also need a clear picture of how leadership skills match up with organizational
priorities. This begins with identifying and understanding leadership strengths and weak spots, then
determining how well individual strengths align with organizational needs. Significant discrepancies between
areas of strength and areas of need indicate leadership gaps – and help to focus development and learning.
To answer these questions, we analyzed a sample of 34,899 leadership-effectiveness evaluations taken between

feedback survey.
Each evaluator rated the relative importance of key competencies for success and the effectiveness of their
coworkers at executing each competency. (See “About the Research” on page 19.)
1 CCL's Benchmarks Assessment is used across a wide variety of companies as their main 360 degree assessment instrument.
4
6. The key findings of the CCL study:
l
The top priority for leadership development in the healthcare sector is to improve
the ability to lead employees and work in teams. This finding speaks to the importance of
creating an organizational culture of collaboration. Leaders in healthcare organizations generally
should develop a more participative management style, improve their ability to build relationships
and lead teams, and learn to deal more effectively with problem employees.
l
Healthcare organizations also need to create strategies to provide current and
future leaders broad, cross-organizational experiences and learning. Healthcare leaders
have gaps in several areas that are essential for learning and long-term success: having a broad functional orientation, self-awareness and career management. Organizational training and development,
succession planning and individual feedback, coaching and development efforts should address these
gaps. This supports what CCL has been hearing from hospitals about the needing for their employees to be able to work effectively across boundaries and communicate more effectively.
l
Healthcare leaders have important strengths, too. The ability to adapt to change and to
meet business objectives are strong points for healthcare leaders. They are resourceful, straightforward and composed, fast learners and willing to “do whatever it takes.” These findings show that
healthcare organizations have a pool of adaptable and committed leaders – a powerful asset in
today’s complicated world.
Leadership gaps – the disparities between leadership priorities and current skills – provide valuable information.
healthcare companies can develop meaningful leader development strategies,
take steps to build the capability of people in key roles and begin to grow the leadership capacity of the organization.
With this insight,

leadership skills, plan development and manage the talent pipeline.
To gain a deeper understanding of the competencies that healthcare organizations need most, CCL turned
directly to the people who work in the sector.
Thousands of mid- and senior-level managers participate in CCL’s leadership development programs annually.
They complete CCL’s Benchmarks® assessment along with their supervisors, peers and direct reports who rate
their leadership behaviors, providing us with a vast database of information on the competencies required for
effective leadership and the skill level of managers in each area. It is from this database that we were able to
analyze healthcare-sector leadership needs.

10. The second category of leadership competencies included in the healthcare sector study involved “leadership
derailment factors.” Decades of research show five characteristics that can stall or break a management career:
l
Problems with Interpersonal Relationships. Difficulties in developing good working relationships
with others.
l
Difficulty Building and Leading a Team. Difficulties in selecting and building a team.
l
Difficulty Changing or Adapting. Resistant to change, learning from mistakes and developing.
l
Failure to Meet Business Objectives. Difficulties in following up on promises and completing a job.
l
Too Narrow Functional Orientation. Lacks depth to manage outside of one’s current function.
These characteristics have been identified by a series of CCL studies that compared managers who continue to
be considered for promotion and those who leave the organization non-voluntarily or reach a plateau. Based on
research from CCL and others, these factors severely limit a leader’s effectiveness and long-term success.

14. identifying
the gaps
Our research shows that leaders and managers in the healthcare sector are skilled in important areas such as adapting to change, meeting business objectives and being resourceful.
They are reported to be straightforward, quick studies, comfortable to be around and skilled at dealing with
individual differences. However, healthcare managers and leaders fall short in several crucial areas.
The study showed the skill ranked as most important for success in the healthcare sector – the ability to lead
employees – rated lower than 14 other competencies in terms of leader performance.
Healthcare leaders
put a high value on the ability to lead others, yet there is notable room for improvement in
how leaders perform in this competency. Healthcare leaders were also rated lower in performance on
related high-value abilities – confronting problem employees, building and mending relationships and participative management.
13
15. These findings imply that the challenges in leading employees in health-sector organizations are significant. Leaders can benefit from further development of the interpersonal and leadership
skills needed to create direction, alignment and commitment within the organization.
This work involves skills such as coaching employees, delegating effectively, hiring talented people and implementing change through others.
Healthcare leaders also need to place greater focus on gaining the experience and skills
needed for future roles and future challenges. The study showed that leaders could improve in the
area of self-awareness and career management, meaning organizations could benefit from a stronger focus
on strategic talent development and preparing leaders for the future.
Efforts can and should be made at both the individual level and at the organizational level to understand how
to improve and foster leadership development in areas where a gap or limitation is identified. In the following
section, we offer insight into each of these issues and suggestions for addressing them.

16. closing the gaps
Healthcare organizations seeking to invest in their leaders should align organizational needs, system-wide
leadership capability and individual leader development.
To close the leadership gap in the areas identified in this study, organizations and individual leaders will need a solid understanding of the skills and behaviors required to be effective in each area. Here, we offer a starting point for understanding six areas that healthcare leaders and
organizations should emphasize:
1
Leading employees. The ability to lead employees is a highly variable skill, requiring strong
self-awareness and interpersonal savvy. In addition to being skilled directors and motivators,
managers and executives who are effective in leading employees will invest in
others. They push decision-making to the lowest appropriate level, developing employees’ confidence in their
ability to take action. They consistently coach employees and provide challenge and opportunity. With this
mindset of developing others, skilled leaders find and attract highly talented and productive people.
15
17. 2
Participative Management. Strong leaders use participative management to involve others,
build consensus and influence decisions. Managers who value participative management
encourage others to share ideas, information, reactions and perspectives – and they listen.
They communicate well, keeping others informed, involving others in change and paying attention to multiple
perspectives.
3
Building and Mending Relationships. Managers who establish and maintain solid relationships are respectful, diplomatic and fair. They are able to relate to all kinds of people and easily gain

understand what other people think before making judgments or making decisions.
4
Self-Awareness. Effective leaders have an accurate picture of their strengths and weaknesses
and the impact that their behavior has on others. Someone with a high degree of selfawareness seeks feedback and values reflection and learning. A self-aware manager will
admit personal mistakes, learn from them and move on to correct the situation.
5
Broad organizational perspective. When a manager’s orientation is too narrow, he or she is
limited in terms of level of responsibility and movement across departments or functions. A promotion would be seen as pushing this person beyond their current level of competence, and a lack of
understanding of how other departments operate is viewed as an inability to collaborate. In contrast, leaders

tion-level issues.
6
Building and leading a team. Managers who are effective team leaders set clear goals and
expectations. They are able to resolve conflict, motivate team members and help individuals understand how their work fits into the goals of the organization. They
select the right mix of people for the team, bringing together people who collectively have the expertise, knowledge
and skills needed to complete an assigned task or ongoing work.
16
18. Organizations will also want to provide leaders with opportunities for assessment, challenge and support as
they seek to improve these or other leadership competencies.
Assessment involves information about current strengths, development needs and current level
of effectiveness. Most healthcare professionals understand the power of data for managing the
technical aspects of their work – medical tests can narrow the scope for accurate diagnosis and
treatment, for example. Similarly, organizations should understand the leadership behav-
iors and skills that are needed for the long-term health of the organization and find
ways to accurately measure them. 360-degree leadership development assessment tools are
often most detailed and helpful, but informal assessments and ongoing feedback are beneficial, too.
Challenge provides opportunity to grow and learn – for example, an experience that is new and
requires new skills. Healthcare organizations should help employees at all levels and across functions understand the importance of “stretch” assignments and how to get the most out of them.
healthcare
leaders should have leadership assignments or roles that allow them to try new
things, work in different ways and manage change.
Just as physicians learned through rotations and residency early in their careers,
Support provides guidance and reassurance about strengths, current skills and established ways
of thinking and acting. Individual coaching, action learning and team coaching are
effective ways to provide learning and performance support for administrators and
organizational management, as well as for physician leaders, nursing professionals and care teams.
Finally, the most successful healthcare organizations create a leadership strategy that builds
essential skills and behaviors of individual leaders AND invests in its culture. Culture, in
concert with the business strategy, drives outcomes. Through a culture of collaboration, people throughout
the organization can develop a full spectrum of capabilities required to lead into the future.
17
19. conclusion
In uncertain times, healthcare companies cannot afford to pour resources into generalized leadership development, hoping that somehow they will end up with the “right” outcomes. Yet, they know leadership talent
and technical expertise are necessary to meet the population’s healthcare needs, manage operations and
find innovative and effective solutions to complex challenges. Well-targeted leadership development initiatives, then, are essential for success.
healthcare organizations have the opportunity to
re-assess their organizational leadership capabilities and begin focused efforts to develop
leaders and create a culture of collaboration.
Using CCL research as a starting point,

20. About the Research
Between 2000 and 2009, 34,899 individuals from healthcare-sector organizations completed CCL’s®
Benchmarks® assessment, a 360-degree feedback survey consisting of 155 behavioral descriptor items clustered into 21 scales (see pages 7 and 9 for definitions of scales). The sample split evenly between male and
female, had an average age of 44, and was made up of 25 percent top management and executives, 55 percent
middle and upper-middle managers, 10 percent frontline and hourly workers, and 10 percent who did not provide information on their organizational level. Sixteen of the scales rate leadership skills, and five of the scales
rate derailment factors. Respondents to the survey (both self-report and observers) indicate relative importance
for success among the 16 leadership skills by identifying the eight competencies that they believe to be most
important. Respondents also rate effectiveness at executing each of the 16 competencies on a 5-point scale,
with 5 representing the highest level of effectiveness; ratings were averaged across all observers. Additionally,
the respondents rated the likelihood of participants derailing on five scales in the derailment section. This study
examines the relationship between importance rankings and effectiveness ratings from 34,899 observers who
provided ratings on Benchmarks for the participants.
