HPM Lecture: Health Sector Leadership Competencies for an Unknowable Future

Leonard Friedman, Professor of Health Policy and Management and MHA Programs Director, spoke at a HPM event, "Health Sector Leadership Competencies for an Unknowable Future."  Preparation of health sector leaders is based on satisfying a set of competencies based on environmental assumptions of how the world works today. Given the pace with which internal and external healthcare environments are changing, are the competencies that are appropriate today the ones that make the most sense for a world that is yet unknown? This presentation proposes a set of five competencies for health sector leaders that prepares them to be effective in uncertain and rapidly changing environments.
