Abstract: Introduction:Leadership development is essential to preparing healthcare organizations to respond to transformational changes in the industry. Many organizations have started such programs to help their employees grow and mature into better leaders. This study seeks to assess the effect of these programs on healthcare institutions. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify relevant literature guiding leadership development programs in healthcare institutions. Studies were included based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the articles searched were between 2010 and 2020. A total of twenty studies were included in the final analysis. Results: Leadership Development Programs Significantly and Positively Impact Healthcare Institutions. They are also typically proven to sharpen leadership competencies, enhance employee motivation and engagement, and contribute to a culture of ongoing learning. Moreover, organizations that emphasize leadership development programs in healthcare have been associated with improved patient outcomes, higher quality of care, and enhanced financial performance. Conclusions: Healthcare Leadership Development Programs Summary: Healthcare leadership development programs are now standard in healthcare organizations and have implications not only for the individual leader but also for the organization as a whole. They are essential for creating a culture of innovation, agility, and resilience, which are all needed in the face of the changing healthcare environment. As a result, healthcare organizations must prioritize investment and ensure the consistency of leadership development programs. Additional studies are needed to examine the effectiveness of such programs in the longer term and identify optimal approaches for their delivery and evaluation.
