organizations do not offer leadership programs to help develop strong leaders for their organization or for the next generation. Create a Leadership Development Proposal that might be presented to your organization's board of directors to request funding for the creation of a leadership program. If your organization already has a program in place, you must then evaluate the program for its use and effectiveness. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the program, if it is used, and explain how the program might be improved. Also, address how you might involve more people and enroll them in the program. Interview effective leaders that you know to gain insight into becoming an effective leader and mentor. You may also interview ineffective leaders and mentors to understand how to avoid those issues with your program. Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes that might be presented to your organization's board of directors to receive funding for the program. Address the following questions in your plan or evaluation: How are participants selected for the program and monitored for their progress? What incentives exist for participating in the program? What are the differences among leadership theories and how might these theories be applied to developing leaders within your leadership program for the health care industry? Which competencies are important for leaders in the health care industry and why? How are these leadership competencies acquired during the program?
