Leadership Success: A Predictive Model

 

Dr Emrick's Books and Articles

Healthcare organizations demand leaders who can absorb incessant policy shifts, guide multidisciplinary teams, and simultaneously safeguard quality, equity, and solvency. A recent scoping review of the expanding role scope of health-system executives underlines that the skills contributing to success differ from those that guaranteed promotion a decade ago, with cognitive agility and relational insight now eclipsing command-and-control traits. The interactive Leadership Success Predictor, Leadership Success: A Predictive Model – Healthcare Leadership & Management, 

The predictor treats leadership success as a binary outcome, thriving in post versus faltering, then estimates probability with a logistic transformation of a weighted composite. After you rescale raw inputs to a 0–1 interval, each β-weight functions as a partial regression coefficient; the sum of coefficients equals one, preserving relative influence while enabling intuitive probability bands. Although the interface updates continuously, you still ground the model in published predictors, reducing subjectivity. Coefficient calibration used a normalisation step (weight ÷ 0.90) to map the composite onto a 0–100 percent scale; that preserves interpretability yet keeps the S-curve of the logistic link so that extreme scores remain rare, mirroring real-world distributions.
