National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) competency model
Instructions
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 Style Paper Template [DOCX]to draft your self-assessment. An abstract is not required. See the APA Style Paper Tutorial [DOCX]for formatting and style information.
- Your self-assessment should be 5–7 double-spaced pages in length, not including the title page and reference page.
- Apply correct APA formatting to all in-text citations and references.
- Use Times New Roman, 12-point font.
Writing
Note: Because this assessment requires you to develop a leadership self-assessment, you may write using first-person voice. However, it is important for your development as a practitioner-scholar to recognize that writing in the first person is not usually acceptable in academic papers, which are written in the third-person. Consequently, you should always carefully consider departing from this norm.
- Be clear and concise in your writing.
- Express your main points, arguments, and conclusions coherently.
- Use correct grammar and mechanics.
- Be sure to support your claims, arguments, and conclusions with credible evidence from 4–5 current, scholarly or professional sources.

Context
Leadership represents both what we do and who we are. Its crucial role within health care organizations is appropriately described by Manning and Curtis (2012) in The Art of Leadership, where they state, “Leadership is an important and difficult task, but the cornerstone of organizational success” (p. 11). Its challenges seem to be increasingly manifested in the public sector, where views of leadership performance are more accessible than at any other time in history, given continual advancements in communications technologies, such as the Internet and multiple smart devices. Subsequently, there is less tolerance for leadership failure, and skepticism is on the rise, making a strong case for leader awareness and continued leadership development.
As a health care professional and leader, it is important to have an understanding of the universal leadership characteristics and behaviors that produce the most desirable outcomes. Of even greater significance is the leader’s need to know his or her own personal leadership style and corresponding implications on decision making.
