For decades, CHA has offered mission leaders a competency model for use in their professional development. This resource is the latest edition of CHA’s Mission Leader Competency Model, and includes seven competencies: Catholic Identity, Strategy, Operations, Formation, Spirituality, Ethics and Advocacy. This 2020 Edition includes significant changes from the previous iterations: there are now seven competencies in addition to the personal qualifications, when previous iterations included only six competencies, and one of those six was Personal Qualifications. Additionally, the competencies now reflect the skills needed at three different levels – or tiers – of mission leadership. The addition of two competencies demonstrates how integral the mission leader has become in all aspects of the organization and the tiers show a career path for this essential role in Catholic health care. Previous competency models included a Self-Assessment Guide booklet and a Bibliography in hardcopy. For the 2020 model resources, the Self-Assessment Tool is now electronic and includes coaching prompts related to the tiers. Rather than a bibliography, CHA has collated resources relevant to each one on the website for the model, which is available at www.chausa.org/missionleadercompetencies.
