competencies over the course of your MHA program, using a STAR Format
Competency Rating Table. There is no page limit for this assessment.
Introduction
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine
your leadership skills with respect to the NCHL health leadership competencies
and assess your progress in developing those skills as you progress through
your program.
Overview and Preparation
Note: This assessment completes your capstone project and
should be completed last.
This assessment is in two parts:
Part 1: Leadership Self-Assessment.
You will assess the development of your leadership skills
over the course of your MHA program.
Part 2: Personal Development Plan.
You will identify measurable action steps for future career
development. Review the Health Leadership Competency Model Summary [PDF] and
Assessment 5 STAR Format Competency Rating Table [DOCX]. (Note: There are 26
total competencies listed in the NHCL Competency Model. You will need to assess
19 of the 26 NHCL competencies, as they are listed in the competency rating
table.)
Requirements
Part 1: Leadership Self-Assessment
Complete a self-assessment of your health leadership
competencies using the Assessment 5 STAR Format Competency Rating Table [DOCX].
Instructions for filling in the table are included in the document.
The requirements outlined below correspond to the first
three grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your self-assessment
addresses each point, at a minimum. You may also want to read the assessment
scoring guide to better understand how each criterion will be assessed.
Assess personal progress toward developing NCHL health
leadership competencies.
Compare your baseline competency rating at the start of your
program with your current competency rating.
Explain any new insights from your competency assessment.
Describe specific examples of how you have demonstrated NCHL
health leadership competencies, with the intent of improving health care
outcomes.
Provide the most current, relevant examples of how you have
demonstrated these skills in the past, preferably in the health care and human
services industry.
Consider, if you do not have experience in health care or
human services, how you may have demonstrated these skills in a different
industry or setting, a previous job, volunteer work, or other courses here at
Capella. You may consider the following as examples:
You assumed a role on a strategic marketing team for a
client organization and demonstrated analytical thinking, strategic
orientation, and organizational awareness.
You demonstrated an information-seeking attitude and
self-confidence during a health policy team debate on HIPAA.
You demonstrated financial skills, performance measurement,
and human resource management when conducting a health care quality
cost-benefit analysis.
Evaluate the outcomes of demonstrated health care leadership
that illustrate NCHL competencies.
Reflect upon personal, community, volunteer, academic teamwork,
and workplace experience in which you have demonstrated each competency.
Determine how, if asked, you would justify your evaluation.
Part 2: Personal Development Plan
Reflect upon any insights for future workplace relevance
that you have gained during your capstone project, obstacles that you may have
encountered, and the strategies you employed to overcome them. Then, formulate
a 1–2 page personal development plan that bridges the transition from your
academic studies to leadership development strategies for future career
advancement.
The requirements outlined below correspond to the last
grading criterion in the scoring guide. Be sure that your personal development
plan addresses each point, at a minimum. You may also want to read the
assessment scoring guide to better understand how each criterion will be
assessed.
Identify measurable action steps for one’s future career
advancement.
Measurable action steps include a specific task, due date,
and relevance to the competency. Example: Study for and take the ACHE
certification exam by March of 2022.
Select two areas for improvement that you believe will be
relevant to your future career.
Use industry-related or organization-specific examples to
show how these two areas will be relevant to your future career.
Discuss what career development steps you might take in the
future.
