Learning Objective 1: Define competency management and its value in identification of leadership assets and gaps.
Learning Objective 2: Differentiate between management skills and leadership qualities.
The spotlight on nursing leadership development has become intense globally as baby boomers begin to reach retirement age, the role of nurse leader has changed dramatically, and the question of who is ready for leadership roles of tomorrow has become more apparent.We cannot rely on having someone in the right place at the right time. The job of preparing tomorrow’s nurse leader must begin by proactively determining what it will take to be successful in the future and by attracting new nurses to management roles. Knowing what your organization needs as specific competencies and qualities for thriving in the future drives what you need to develop and track today. The evolution of the nurse leader demands that we undertake leadership development and succession planning in a thoughtful and organized manner in order to remain relevant as we move into the future. Change this to match above. This presentation will demonstrate how a comprehensive competency management program not only drives excellence in leadership development and succession planning but can also help an organization: - Identify the current leadership skills in the organization.
- Identify organizational leadership gaps and future needs.
- Define the development needs of potential nurse leaders.
- Develop potential nurse leaders by tracking competencies in current candidates.
The leaders of tomorrow are working in today’s healthcare organization. A thoughtful consideration of what is needed combined with a qualitative, data-driven competency management program creates the opportunity to successfully manage succession.
