Abstract

To enhance leadership acumen and intelligence among the managerial ranks, many healthcare organizations establish leadership development programs. Doing so makes perfect sense as the caliber of leadership within health and medical institutions profoundly influences all aspects of operation. Although leadership development programs are very capable mechanisms for advancing the state of leadership within healthcare organizations, a notable enhancement-evaluation-is needed to maximize their potential. Across commerce, techniques for evaluating leadership development programs are highly varied. The specific evaluative approach selected matters not, as long as it satisfactorily assesses program performance. Problems, however, emerge when establishments choose to forgo evaluative pursuits altogether. Omission of such often is attributed to fears concerning the complexity of evaluation and its associated resource requirements. It is further hastened by the dearth of easily accessible examples from practice, with this limiting idea sharing, impeding evaluation system development and proliferation. To encourage the circulation of associated ideas, this article provides a helpful account from practice, describing the approach used by Willis Knighton Health to evaluate its leadership development program. This very lean, conservative application constitutes just one of many possibilities. Through its portrayal, it is hoped that healthcare organizations hesitant to engage in the assessment of their leadership development programs will be encouraged to proceed.

评估医疗机构的领导力发展计划:来自实践的简介。
为了提高管理阶层的领导敏锐度和智力,许多医疗保健组织建立了领导力发展计划。这样做是完全合理的,因为卫生和医疗机构的领导能力深刻地影响着运营的各个方面。虽然领导力发展项目是促进医疗保健组织内领导力状态的非常有效的机制,但需要一个显著的增强——评估——来最大化其潜力。在整个商业领域,评估领导力发展项目的方法各不相同。选择具体的评估方法并不重要,只要它能令人满意地评估项目绩效。然而,当机构选择完全放弃评估追求时,问题就出现了。这种遗漏往往是由于担心评价的复杂性及其相关的资源需求。缺乏实践中容易获得的例子进一步加速了这一进程,这限制了思想的分享,阻碍了评估系统的发展和扩散。为了鼓励相关理念的传播,本文提供了一个来自实践的有用描述,描述了威利斯·奈特顿健康公司评估其领导力发展项目的方法。这个非常精简、保守的应用程序只是众多可能性中的一种。通过它的写照,它是希望医疗机构犹豫参与他们的领导力发展计划的评估将被鼓励进行。

期刊介绍: Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances.
