evasys online-survey - Transformational Leadership Competencies

Transformational leadership in public health - Assessing competencies in different global working contexts

Would you like to be an architect of change?

Take the opportunity to develop your skills as a transformational leader. In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, effective leadership must be adaptable and open to change. One approach that stands out is transformational leadership.

But what makes transformational leaders different?

They provide a sense of purpose beyond immediate goals and focus on fundamental, long-term needs. Transformational leadership is about fostering relationships centered on a shared vision that inspires and motivates others to achieve their full potential.

Existing public health competency frameworks include leadership, but typically do not include the cultivation of specific transformational leadership competencies, especially in diverse contexts. To address this gap, we conducted a Delphi Study with public health experts from 30 countries, identifying and refining ten core competencies for transformational leadership in public health, each with specific behavioral descriptions.

This framework represents the first set of transformational leadership competencies specifically for public health. It emphasizes the importance of context in leadership development, offering a dynamic and integrated approach to cultivating transformational leaders.

The aim of the following study, comprising this online survey and consequent interviews, is to assess the perceived relevance and application of transformational leadership competencies in different global public health work contexts among public health experts who graduated with a PhD.

This survey will describe PhD graduates' current jobs, assess key competencies in different work environments, and explore how PhD training has developed leadership skills. The results will be used to develop an online competency assessment tool.

It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Please complete the survey by April 15th 2025.

Your participation is highly appreciated.
