Implications for the Field

As a guide for educational programming or as a diagnostic tool, the LEADS+ Developmental Model provides a tailored description of the capabilities at each stage of leadership development. We also anticipate that the human resource implications in that AHCs may undertake mapping exercises to identify the necessary follower and leader phenotypes required across units or programs. Rather than assuming a singular leader construct for a team with team members rounding out the team based on technical expertise, organizations can attend to the specific capabilities required of each time of leadership role.
