Read the white paper on “Evolving Roles and Competencies in Healthcare Leadership” in the Readings and Resources section.  Reflect upon which of these competencies you see as most valuable in HC leadership. Also consider the NCHL Health Leadership Competency Model from your textbook in the “Developing Healthcare Leaders” chapter.

Write a 3-5 page APA paper describing what skills and behaviors you feel are most important to be a good leader and why.  Which of these skills do you already possess?  Which do you feel you need to cultivate?

Does being a leader in the setting of healthcare make the role different than in a non-healthcare setting?  Why or why not?
