It also highlighted the “Lack of investment in staff and, in particular, staff training… despite best intentions, aged care workers simply do not have the requisite time, knowledge, skill and support to deliver high quality care.” In this blog, we will share how CILCA 360 is a great tool for measuring leadership capability.
So what can you do?
Whilst acknowledging resources are tight, we need to prioritise developing our current and future leaders. 
But word of warning – rushing to invest training dollars in generic Leadership Programs might not be the answer. The crucial first step is to identify your start point. Measure the capability of your leaders and identify your gaps… and your strengths!
How exactly do you measure leadership capability?
Using a statistically valid and reliable 360-degree leadership assessment tool correlated to the Australian Aged Care Leadership Capability Framework. This enables organisations to measure their biggest gaps, risks and opportunities, by analysing 6 key domains: Leading Self, Leading Others, Leading Purpose, Leading Business, Leading Change, as well as the Aged Care Quality Care Standards.
The tool is CILCA 360, and it is the ONLY care industry specific leadership assessment that identifies gaps and strengths at THREE levels of leadership from Executive to frontline leaders.
