Leadership Development Checklist: A Self-Assessment Tool for Post-Acute Care

Post-Acute Care
Fact Sheet
Supervision/Leadership Development

The Four Stages of a Leadership Development Program:

  • Foundational: Building the Base — establishing structure, reducing turnover
  • Emerging: Finding Your Footing — creating consistent pathways and support
  • Scaling: Growing With Purpose — expanding programs and measuring impact
  • Advanced: Leading With Confidence — embedding growth into everyday culture

About this resource

Strong leaders aren’t built by chance; they’re nurtured through intentional development and a culture that supports growth. In post-acute care, a well-structured leadership program and individual career pathways reduce turnover, strengthen staff engagement, and equip teams with the skills needed to deliver consistent, high-quality care.

The Leadership Development Checklist helps you evaluate your program’s maturity across four key areas:

  1. Identifying high-potential leaders
  2. Structuring development opportunities
  3. Fostering mentorship and leadership culture
  4. Tracking progress and continuous improvement

Your results will highlight strengths, reveal gaps, and point to next steps, empowering you to build a strong pipeline of leaders, stabilize your workforce, and improve care outcomes.
