The coronavirus pandemic has placed extraordinary demands on hospital and health system leaders. Fear and uncertainty among employees have resulted in many leaving due to burnout and fatigue. While organizations work to respond to this workforce crisis, leadership development must be a top priority.

Organizations that commit to developing its leaders can expect to gain a significant competitive advantage by improving the bottom line — attracting, developing, and retaining talent, driving strategy execution, and increasing success when navigating change.

As Henry Ford once said, “The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training them and having them stay.” 

Your leaders must possess the mindsets and behaviors needed to lead, inspire, and motivate others. As the industry faces critical workforce challenges, leadership development will not only prepare current and future leaders, but it also sends a strong message about your organization’s commitment to their professional development.
