Preparation

You have been offered the opportunity to apply for a leadership position in your organization. As a part of the application process, your potential employer uses the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) competency model of leadership development (NCHL, 2016), which includes a 360-degree evaluation. The evaluation is an assessment that includes anonymous, confidential feedback from those around you, such as your peers, supervisor, direct reports, and stakeholders, as well as a self-assessment on behavior (relational), technical and operational skills, and strategic ability. As a part of this 360-degree evaluation, you will complete the self-assessment component. This information will be shared with the interview committee for the position, so it is important that you demonstrate your knowledge and experience in each of the areas outlined in the self-assessment requirements below.

Note: Remember, you can submit all, or a portion, of your draft to Smarthinking for feedback, before you submit the final version of your work for this assessment. However, be mindful of the turnaround time for receiving feedback, if you plan on using this free service.

Self-Assessment Requirements

Complete a leadership self-assessment to create a portrait of the effective health care professional and leader you aspire to be.

Note: The assessment requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Leadership Self-Assessment scoring guide. At a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. You are provided an example leadership self-assessment to illustrate what proficient-level work for this assessment looks like.

Self-Assessment Format and APA Style

· Use the APA Paper template, linked in the Resources, to draft your self-assessment. An abstract is not required.

Consequently, you should always carefully consider departing from this norm.
