“…Only 3 of the programmes assessed the leadership promotion of programme attendees. In one of the few controlled studies that were reviewed by Strauss et al ,13 Day et al 14 assessed the effectiveness of a leadership development programme for orthopaedic surgeons using eight parameters: knowledge of leadership theory, environmental scanning, financial management, communication skills, conflict management, diversity competence, tolerance for the demands of leadership and leadership positioning. Programme graduates (n=67) were compared with applicants who were not selected to participate (n=73).…”

background Leader development programmes are signature features of frontrunner multinational companies. Healthcare institutions have generally lagged behind, though attention to implementing leader development programmes in healthcare institutions is increasing. The rationale for leader development in healthcare is that leadership competencies matter and that traditional selection and training of physicians may conspire against both optimal leadership competencies and followership. Methods The growth of leader development in healthcare institutions begs the question: Does leader development work? results In this context, three meta-analyses have examined the impact of leader development programmes in healthcare institutions. In general, findings from these studies indicate that while studies do assess the subjective learning of participants, few studies have evaluated the organisational impact of such leader development programmes. Conclusions These findings suggest the need for more rigorous, objective assessment of the organisational impact of leader development programmes in healthcare institutions. Such evidence is critically needed in the current resource-constrained environment of healthcare.

“…Positive organizational outcomes are associated with multiple learning methods, including lectures, seminars, group work and learning in multidisciplinary teams . The annual American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Leadership Fellows Program combines a mentorship programme with leadership training focusing on personal development, interpersonal skills, fundamentals of leadership, and leadership and managerial skills . Programme participants were more likely to assume leadership positions in national organizations and within their own institutions compared to non‐participants .…”

Programme participants were more likely to assume leadership positions in national organizations and within their own institutions compared to non‐participants . However, as participants were selected for pre‐existing leadership qualities, the relative contribution of the programme to this outcome is uncertain.…”

“…Recent systematic reviews of leadership development programmes highlight that the impact is variable and in general modest; most studies report only basic learning outcomes (reaction to the programme or self-reported knowledge) and only a few refer to behavioural changes and system-level outcomes 12–14. For example, through objective measures, improved scores in leadership knowledge tests,15 possible improvement in decision-making skills16 and higher rates of advancement in administrative ranks17 have been identified. Occasional studies do report possible links to better patient care outcomes as measured objectively either in simulation settings18 or real-work settings, the latter only after long-duration leadership development programmes 19 20.…”

PurposeLeadership is a key competency for physicians. Based on the premise that not everyone benefits equally from leadership development programmes, the leader developmental readiness (LDR; ability and motivation to develop) construct has been proposed to account for the differences. The purpose of this project was to explore the relationship between LDR, leadership experience, leader behaviours and leader efficacy in medical learners.MethodSurvey data from 46 medical learners were collected in 2015–2016. Separate one-way analysis of variances, with between-group factors of leadership experience (<12 months, >12 months, 0 month), were carried out on LDR constructs of ability and motivation using five validated measures: motivation to lead, goal orientation, developmental efficacy, self-awareness and metacognitive ability. Spearman’s rank-order correlations were used to examine the relationship between LDR and experience with leader efficacy and leadership behaviours (transformational and transactional). Statistical significance was determined at p<0.05. Bonferroni corrections were applied for any multiple comparisons.ResultsSignificant main effects were observed for both ability and motivation to develop, showing lower scores on these variables for individuals with less leadership experience. Both experience and LDR constructs (motivation and ability) were shown to be significantly positively associated with transformational leadership behaviour (and not transactional leadership behaviour). The LDR constructs, but not leadership experience, were significantly positively associated with leader efficacy.ConclusionsThe positive correlation between LDR, experience, and transformational leadership behaviours and between LDR and leader efficacy is of value in leadership development. Understanding the developmental readiness of learners and how this affects leadership development is paramount to better inform personal leadership development and structure leadership development programmes for medical learners and physicians.

Abstract: The AAOS Leadership Fellows Program seems to have a positive impact on the leadership competency of its participants. Graduates of the program are more likely to assume leadership positions in national organizations and within their own institutions.
