Instructions: Assess the development of your healthcare leadership competencies over the course of your MHA program using a STAR Format Competency Rating Table. In addition, write a one-paragraph reflection on your capstone experience, and create three SMART goals for your future healthcare leadership development.
Introduction
Throughout their careers, healthcare leaders must regularly assess their individual competencies and how those competencies align with organizational needs and priorities. Changing laws, regulations, technology, consumer preferences, medical treatment advances, and external environmental shifts can affect the skill sets needed for effective leadership. An accurate self-assessment is the first step in identifying potential gaps and in developing an action plan to close those potential gaps.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine your leadership skills with respect to the NCHL health leadership competencies and assess your progress in developing those skills as you have advanced through your program.
Note: Each assessment of your capstone project is built on the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order they are presented.
