Lack of Management Talent and Leadership Capability Development
Definition
Home health agencies struggle to recruit and retain top-tier management talent, particularly skilled leaders who combine clinical knowledge, business acumen, and innovation capability. Executives report a shortage of leaders who 'instinctively innovate and solve problems' versus clinicians waiting to be told what to do. This is especially acute for small agencies competing with larger regional/national providers for talent. The loss mechanism: agencies with weaker management cannot execute strategic initiatives (technology adoption, service diversification, operational efficiency improvements). Clinical Directors are often promoted clinicians without business training. Agencies fall behind on industry best practices. High-performing leaders leave for competitors offering higher compensation or equity. Absence of strong COO/CFO roles means poor financial controls, missed cost reduction opportunities, and strategic misalignment.
