Abstract
In the highly competitive, perennially-changing healthcare industry, management prowess is vitally needed by those in positions of authority, but in isolation it is insufficient for delivering optimal results. Instead, management proficiencies must be complemented by leadership skills which amplify managerial efforts and outcomes. One avenue for building leadership acumen in healthcare organizations involves the establishment of leadership development programs. These programs generally assemble a range of opportunities permitting managers to learn about leadership and acquire associated proficiencies. Leadership development programs afford many benefits for healthcare providers, but in order to capitalize fully, thoughtful assembly is required. To shed light on this important topic, this article provides an overview of leadership development programs, noting a formal definition, stipulating associated benefits, and discussing options for assembly, all through the lens of Willis Knighton Health's leadership development initiatives and experiences.
