The Future of Healthcare Leadership Decision Making

At Kingsley Gate, we believe the healthcare industry is the backbone of a successful society, economy, and private sector. In the post-COVID landscape we’re living in, we have shown that senior executives are in the driver’s seat, spending 40% of their time on decision making1, and are the force behind the direction the healthcare industry moves toward.

Our approach to executive hiring takes into account the fact that an organization’s decision-making capability is an extremely important, predictive measure of financial performance2; and that it’s often an under-developed muscle/overlooked aspect of the executive search process. Our cross-industry findings published in 2023 can be found here.

In this mini report, we dive into some of the unique dynamics affecting executive decision making in healthcare, as well as our perspectives around future trends in the industry.

Este informe revela las numerosas ventajas de garantizar que la toma de decisiones sea un factor integral en el proceso de contratación de directivos; cómo capacitar a los altos ejecutivos para que tomen buenas decisiones; y cómo adaptarse a estilos de toma de decisiones contrastantes.
