Healthcare Leadership Trends for 2025
Satisfaction with the respondent’s organization showed a similar pattern to job satisfaction. Extremely satisfied came in at 27% versus 30% previously, and somewhat satisfied was about level with last year at 45%. The dissatisfied cohort was 18%, a limited but meaningful concern. Intention to Leave Position The survey also seeks to uncover vulnerability to leadership exits by polling leaders on intent and potential timelines. Equivalent to last year, 34% said they have no intention of leaving their organizations. Tenure is again a factor. Those least likely to contemplate a change have been with their current organization for more than 10 years, while the most likely to consider leaving have a one to five year tenure range.
The desired timing of departure among the leaders considering a change:
20%
19%
11%
15%
WITHIN 3-5 YEARS
WITHIN 6 MONTHS
WITHIN 1 YEAR
IMMEDIATE
The response suggests a restive population with just under half of leaders signaling potential to leave within one year. Of course, many will not execute the timeline, but the findings are a warning. Among leaders satisfied with their organization, 41% are not considering a move, whereas 80% of those dissatisfied express desire to leave within a year.
