| Title | Developing Leadership Ecosystems in Academic Medicine |
| Abstract | The landscape for leadership development is complex with many players, creating a web of content and experiences that can be confusing for leaders in academic medicine aspiring to develop their own skills. Previously, our team published a commentary that examines what a learning ecosystem around leadership could be like. Based on our own synthesis of leadership development literature and our own lived experiences in this area of education, we proposed six principles for medical educators and health care leaders when designing or creating educational ecosystems. These principles are: (1) to apply a conceptual or theoretical framework that organizes development within and across offerings; (2) to scaffold development-oriented approaches so that there is a clear progression of skills and competencies; (3) to respect and acknowledge individual levels of adult development and also prior experiences; (4) to integrate a diversity of perspectives and encourage in intergenerational and interprofessional exchange; (5) to interweave theory, practice, and reflection; and (6) to recognize the broad range of leadership practices and concepts. At McMaster University, we are operationalizing these principles to work within our institution to create a diverse and vibrant leadership ecosystem that stretches from hiring to retiring. We aim to "right size" leadership training. |
