The Mission Leader Competency Model

For more than two decades CHA has focused on the evolving competencies for mission leaders amid the ever-changing health care and Church realities. Our newest iteration of competencies is now available here! The 2020 Mission Leader Competency Model is a shift from versions past. Each competency is now fleshed out across three tiers — tiers that represent entry-level mission positions, mid-level and executive mission positions. Also, the self-assessment tool is now electronic and includes coaching prompts with your individual results. Please review the competencies and the self-assessment resources. If you have any questions, please contact Dennis Gonzales, Ph.D., CHA Senior Director of Mission Innovation and Integration.

Self-Assessment Tool

No mission leader is expected to have fully developed every competency to the highest level. The 2020 Model includes an electronic self-assessment tool that provides some coaching prompts that provide recommended actions a mission leader can take to advance from Tier I to Tier II to Tier III.
