The key ways in which the Healthcare Leadership Model is different from previous leadership frameworks is:

• It is a behavioural model, not a competency model
• It is not tied to seniority or hierarchy
• Personal qualities are spread throughout rather than separated into a dimension
• It focuses on leadership that's been shown to improve staff engagement and patient care

More specific information on how the Healthcare Leadership Model maps against previous leadership frameworks is available in Part 3 of this online learning course.

You will learn about the structure of the Healthcare Leadership Model in the next session.
