Consultation in leadership.

Abstract

Hatcher et al., 2013). Similarly, leadership is not a core competency within other health professions (Swing, 2002). The lack of active attention to the leadership competency is problematic given that health professionals increasingly are called on to assume leadership roles. In addition, it is concerning that even though consultation related to leadership development has become increasingly popular (Kaiser & Curphy, 2013), there is a dearth of focus on the consultation competency as applied to leadership for health service psychologists. We concur with recent calls for health service psychologists to become scientist-practitioner-advocate-leaders who act to create a socially just environment (Shullman, 2017) and advocate for a competency-and capability-based approach to leadership consultation in HSP.Because interest in leadership development is at its peak, a growing need for consultative efforts is aimed at expanding the capacity of institutional and organizational members to engage competently in leadership roles and processes.
