Leadership is a key feature in implementation efforts, which is highlighted in most implementation frameworks. However, in studying leadership and implementation, only few studies rely on established leadership theory, which makes it difficult to draw conclusions regarding what kinds of leadership managers should perform and under what circumstances which are discussed in the iLead study. General leadership styles are sufficient to foster specific results; it has therefore been suggested that the leadership should be specific to the domain of interest, e.g., implementation (Richter, 2016). Considering different leadership skills discussed in the chapter we will analyze which might be key in helping develop and integrate new leaders into their healthcare cultures.

Unit Learning Outcomes
ULO#9: Evaluate the need for leadership and team development programs. (CLO5)
ULO#10: Analyze the value of completing a needs assessment for leadership training. (CLO5)
Directions
After analyzing the chapter, the sample leadership plan (needs assessment) and the ilead study you will write a memo from your perspective as the HR Director for your hospital to your Chief Executive Officer on the importance of ensuring all leaders, especially new leaders to the organization/culture and new to healthcare managers are being reviewed at the onset by their supervisors, then create a needs assessment plan in the first 90 days of employment that will then be revisited at the one year mark. Considering this information ensure you address the following in the memo:
Consider the following skills: 1) communication; 2) motivational and employee engagement; 3) culture-building; 4) trust-building; 5) Intrapreneurship. In what order do you rank their importance for new leaders in the organization and why? Are all required for success of new leaders? Elaborate why or why not.
What are the possible implications for not analyzing leadership training and needs assessments for the organization, culture, individual team members, and patients?
How often should the evaluation process and needs assessment process be analyzed, reviewed and updated?
What components of the ilead research might be applicable to your analysis and this memo?
Explain an exemplary leadership development program.
