Core competencies and qualifications of health sciences school managers: a multi-method qualitative study
The findings of this study contribute to a paradigm shift in the traditional approach to appointing managers in health sciences schools. Our results indicated that EDHs and HSSDs should have expertise as well as a balanced combination of managerial competencies, human resource development capabilities, knowledge of organizational behavior, change management skills, and performance support strategies, which can significantly enhance their effectiveness and success in their leadership roles.
