MHA-FP5012 Organizational Leadership and Governance Homework- Capella University
This Homework has three distinct parts.
Part I: Critical Leadership Competencies for Health Care Organizations. In Part I, based on the information from your resources, provide an overview of the leadership competencies required to lead health care organizations into the future.
Part II: Personal Leadership Gap Analysis. In Part II, compare the competencies most needed by your organization to the skills you already possess (using the results from your STAR analysis).
Part III: Individual Leadership Development Plan (ILDP). In Part III, use the information from your resources, your self-Homework, and your work to put together a cohesive individual leadership development plan (ILDP).
Preparation
Before you create and submit your Homework, complete the following:
I. Read Health Leadership Competency Model Summary, linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading.
II. Consider the needs of your health care organization as identified Organizational Scorecard. 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.
III. Conduct a candid self-Homework 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:
a) In the left-hand column, rate your overall performance of this competency in the "ILDP =" field, using a 1 (novice) to 9 (expert) scale.
b) 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).
c) 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.
IV. 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 Homework.
