Developing Leadership Ability
[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA]
We have written about leadership and management before on this ME-P. It is an important and very popular topic; not only in healthcare but in most all industries today.
According to the Center for Creative Leadership there is a model for learning and development that blends experience, relationships and training.
It is referred to as the 70-20-10 model, where approximately:
- 70% of learning is provided through the use of challenging assignments and on-the-job experiences.
- 20% of learning is developed through relationships, networks, and feedback.
- 10% of the learning is delivered via formal training processes.
So, does your medical office, clinic, hospital or healthcare organization put most of its leadership development resources into training?
Is this akin to the medical teaching adage: “See one – Do one – Teach One“?
Assessment
Sometimes it’s easier to purchase external vendor training rather than develop the internal infrastructure to support business succession planning with stretch and / or rotational assignments, coaching, mentoring, and action learning. The weaker this internal support infrastructure, the more important the formal training will be, but it can’t be a close substitute for the lessons learned on the job and through feedback from peers, bosses and mentors.
