Selected Competency Area for FocusWhat did the feedback help you to see/understand about this area?How can improvement in this area enhance success in your current and future work?How will improvement in this area help you and your team (and eventually the teams and organizations you work for) better achieve key priorities?
SampleAccountability· I don’t give people enough feedbackI need to improve clarity regarding expectations for others, including the overall direction as well as their individual performance expectations· Will enable me to delegate with more confidence and do less checking up on people· Will allow me to coach and support vs. direct other’s actions· Enables me to operate more as a leader and developer of others vs. too much of a doer· People will be more accountable for their own work and feel they are successful· We will enhance the level of commitment, expand capabilities, shorten the time to results and lessen the likelihood of recycle that can result from misdirected efforts· I understand that in the end holding myself accountable and others accountable will improve the work climate for everyone

Creating Your Development Plan

It takes commitment if you are to reach your development goal. For some of us, personal development is energizing and even effortless. For many others of us, development is not a task we take on easily. We value development but other things get in the way of our making the necessary and real commitment to change—work, family, time, etc. We hope that your survey feedback and this guide have helped you find the commitment to act on your goals and that you will take this opportunity to create a development plan that works for you.

Three principles to keep in mind as you set out to plan and achieve your goal(s):

1. Address your goals in a way that suits you best

Thousands of books have been written on goal setting, personal improvement, how to change your life, etc. Many organizations have their own development processes. None of them matter if they don’t work for you. Use a process that you find comfortable.

2. Your change plan must fit your life and work If your plan isn’t something that you can accommodate to your life, then it is likely that you will fail.

3. Your plan must tap into your preferred way of learning

Use your normal way of learning when taking on significant life changes. Doing otherwise can be de-motivating and not hold your attention. For example, don’t sign up for a formal training course on coaching that will take you away from the job when you know you just need to begin to apply what you already know, simply make the time to do it, and have the opportunity to see how much your people appreciate it.

You are now ready to begin planning for your development. Remember: you are developing this competency, not for its sake alone, but to enhance your current effectiveness, your future career potential and to support the success of the organization.

Key Plan Components

Research has shown that plans that are most successful are those where action steps are carefully laid out. Action steps or activities must be realistic and accommodate to your lifestyle and work requirements. Your plan should include:

· The activities you will undertake to develop the competency to a level of proficiency that will help you achieve your goal. It makes sense to select and/or combine different kinds of developmental approaches to help you reach a given goal. Examples of the different kinds of activities you might select include:

· Targeting practical on-the-job behaviors that you want to do more of/less of or differently

· Involvement in specific project/task assignments in addition to your current role (e.g. cross functional team leadership, action-learning assignment)

· Self-directed activities (e.g. reading, computer-based education)

· Formal training/education (e.g. specific courses/workshops offered internally/externally)

· External involvement (e.g. community board work)

· On-going coaching/mentoring

· The date by which you want to complete each activity

· The obstacles that may get in your way of completing this activity

· The help or resources you will need to complete each activity

· A short description—the measure—of how you will know when you are making progress toward or have reached your goal (e.g., “My project will be on budget and on time” “My team will achieve their goals” etc.)

Complete the draft development plan. Create or identify as many activities as you feel are necessary and reasonable to realize proficiency in the competency you have selected for development. Where appropriate, consider using your strengths (your competency to leverage) to aid you in your development.

Take advantage of this opportunity for development. Use all your available resources. Take a risk. Try out new behaviors and new ways of approaching your work and life. But especially have fun! Development is a gift that each person should accept with gratitude and enthusiasm.

IV. Tracking On-Going Development Progress

Your development plan is a journey. By definition, a journey is not necessarily a straight line. You will deviate from your path. From time to time you will want to take a new road. You will run into roadblocks. For these reasons you will want to return to your plan to adjust your course and mark your progress. Whenever necessary, take a few minutes to:

· Review your progress on your development activities

· Reflect on your performance as you’ve used the new competency at work or in situations outside of work

· Determine if you are closer to reaching your goal than when you started this process

Review and revise your development plan as necessary based on your accomplishments and reflections and the reality of your own situation.

Consider the possibility of repeating the 360-degree feedback progress at some point to gauge your progress and reality-test your own perceptions of it.

NCHL Individual Leadership Development Plan 2

NCHL Individual Leadership Development Plan – LLI 11

Overview Assessmeent 2-5.docx

· Overview

Conduct a candid self-assessment of your health care leadership competencies and construct an 8–12-page comprehensive individual leadership development plan that can help you take your organization into the future.

Note: You are strongly encouraged to complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

By comparing areas of strength and weakness to the skill sets required to lead an organization, it is easier to determine the specific skill areas that need to be developed. Once you identify skills that need improvement, it is possible to develop an action plan to strengthen weaker areas and highlight strengths. A good action plan should contain specific strategies as well as a way to measure success.By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:· Competency 2: Assess personal leadership competencies relative to the organizational need. (L2.4, L14.4, L22.4, L19.2, L7.2, L10.5)· Summarize relevant critical success leadership competencies required by health care organizations.· Compare personal leadership competencies to the critical success leadership competencies needed within the health care industry.· Construct an individual leadership development plan that contains specific action steps, a timeline, and performance indicators and measures.· Explain how an individual leadership development plan aligns with industry and organizational needs.· Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for professionals in health care administration. (L6.1, L6.2, L6.3, and L6.4)· Write coherently, concisely, logically, and with strong support from relevant professional resources, in an appropriate format, with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a health care administration professional.ContextDifferent types of health care organizations have different visions, missions, values, and cultures. Leaders must assess the community and organization to determine what type of leadership best fits the organizational context. Effective leaders are those who are consistent, credible, authentic, flexible, and engage in continuous learning.You will have your own brand of personal and professional leadership. It is important to periodically assess the fit of your style relative to the current environment and changing needs of the organization. Leaders who add value align their efforts and lead teams towards organizational goals. Research-based tools such as those developed by the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) are available to assist with the task of developing and aligning your skill sets with the changing needs of your organization.Questions to ConsiderTo deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.· What new leadership skill sets are needed within your organization due to changes in external industry trends?· Have you put together a career development plan to help you take advantage of your education and a changing industry? What are some of the advantages of having a career development plan?· How can you leverage things such as periodic 360-degree informal feedback, a mentor, committee participation in your local professional chapter, organizational task force or committee work, community or volunteer outreach activities, research, professional association presentations, and other items to highlight your skills and demonstrate the value you can add to an organization?ResourcesRequired ResourcesThe following resources are required to complete the assessment.

· Assessment Instructions

Note: You are strongly encouraged to complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

This assessment has three distinct parts.

· Part 1: Critical Leadership Competencies for Health Care Organizations. In Part 1, based on the information from your resources, provide an overview of the leadership competencies required to lead health care organizations into the future.

· Part 2: Personal Leadership Gap Analysis. In Part 2, compare the competencies most needed by your organization (from your work in Assessment 1) to the skills you already possess (using the results from your STAR analysis).

· Part 3: Individual Leadership Development Plan (ILDP). In Part 3, use the information from your resources, your self-assessment, and your work in Assessment 1 to put together a cohesive individual leadership development plan (ILDP).

Preparation

Before you create and submit your assessment, complete the following:

2. Read Health Leadership Competency Model Summary, linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading

2. Consider the needs of your health care organization as identified in the Assessment 1 Organizational Scorecard Template. Consider how you add value to the organization by contributing to the achievement of the internal benchmarks within your department and specific to your position of employment.

2. Conduct a candid self-assessment of your health care leadership competencies, using the Star Format Competency Table linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading. Once you have a clear picture of your strengths and weaknesses, you will construct an individual leadership development plan to focus upon development of critical success competencies that can help you take your organization into the future. To complete the STAR Format Competency Table, follow these directions:

6. In the left-hand column, rate your overall performance of this competency in the “ILDP =” field, using a 1 (novice) to 9 (expert) scale.

6. In the middle columns, provide a specific behavioral example of how you have practiced each competency in a previous work, volunteer or other capacity. You will provide one sentence on the “Situation,” the “Task” you were charged to perform, the “Action” you took, and the “Result” (S–T–A– R).

6. In the far right-hand column, rate the outcome or result of the specific example by using a 1 (least desirable) to 5 (optimal outcome) scale.

2. Search for professional, scholarly journal articles on the leadership skills and competencies needed in health care organizations today and into the future. You will need a minimum of five resources to use as support for your assessment.

Directions

Read the requirements for each part carefully.

Part 1: Critical Leadership Competencies for Health Care Organizations

Based on the resources you located, identify the top five leadership competencies needed within health care administration in order to ensure the success of health care organizations today and in the future.

Explain why each competency is critical to organizational success.

Part 2: Personal Leadership Gap Analysis

Following completion of the STAR assessment, consider your strengths versus those areas which require additional development. Provide a gap analysis that compares industry needs (as identified in Part 1), the needs of your organization (from your organization’s strategic direction), and the results of your STAR assessment. You may wish to use the Personal Leadership Gap Analysis Template linked in the Resources (Suggested) under the Capella Resources heading.

In a brief narrative, explain any discrepancies between industry needs and organizational needs. Explain how your areas of strength can offer you additional opportunities for career advancement.

Part 3: Individual Leadership Development Plan (ILDP)

Using the information and resources from Assessment 1 and Parts 1 and 2 from this assessment, construct a cohesive individual leadership development plan in which you complete the following:

. Identify at least three specific areas of weakness you need to focus on in order to meet industry and organizational needs.

. Explain the action steps you need to take to increase your competency in those areas. Be sure your action steps are specific, include a timeline, and align with the overall goal of meeting industry and organizational needs.

. Create specific performance indicators and measures for each action step to clearly illustrate how you will know that you are making progress on your plan.

If it helps you organize your thoughts, you may use a table format for your ILDP, such as the Individual Leadership Development Plan Template provided in the Resources (Suggested) under the Capella Resources heading. Just be sure you provide enough detail in each section, relative to the expectations laid out in the scoring guide. You are not required to use a table format; if you prefer, you may simply write this section as a narrative.

Additional Requirements

. Structure: Include a title page, table of contents, and reference page.

. Length: 8–12 pages.

. References: Cite at least five current scholarly or professional resources.

. Format: Use APA style for references and citations.

. Font: Times New Roman font, 12 point, double-spaced for narrative portions only.

Key Considerations (continued)

There are no right or wrong answers. If you answer realistically regarding your current level of  skill (not your desired state), you will have a baseline  overview for facilitating your longer‐term career planning  and ongoing assessment activities.

Your report provides information for your own: Knowledge and understanding. Reflection. Career tracking. Professional development.

Results are confidential and will not be reported to  anyone except on a cohort basis. You can share results with those you feel may be of  assistance to your skill and career development:

Faculty advisers. Preceptors. Coaches. Other students or colleagues.

conscious choice and discipline.
