NHPCO provides opportunities for hospice leaders (executives, managers and directors) to complete and benefit from recognized and validated leadership assessments as a way to enhance their career development. 

Assessments can help you understand where you are now: your strengths, level of performance and development needs, and help you clarify what you need to learn, improve, or change.  Having the information, feedback and insight provided by assessments not only motivates you to close the gaps, but also provides clues as to how those gaps might be closed.

The following instruments are available through NHPCO; each includes a confidential meeting (by phone) with an NHPCO Leadership Coach (certified in the instrument) for interpretation, discussion, application and development of goals.   If you are unsure which assessment would be best for you, an NHPCO Leadership Coach is available to explain the merits and applications of each and help you discern which would be most beneficial to you.
