Healthcare leadership is crucial for addressing the complex challenges faced by healthcare systems in Zambia. By investing in leadership development programs, Zambia can equip its healthcare leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to create positive change within the public health system. Effective leadership is required if healthcare organisations are to perform better in the 21st century. The study set out to understand the current practices of healthcare leadership development and determine authentic leadership program that build capacity and capabilities; the human-related factors influence on leadership development, and organisational factors that support leadership development. 14 Healthcare leaders were the participants in the study. The multi-paradigm approach was chosen. The study was conducted using a post-positivist, interpretivist-constructivist ontological and epistemological framework. The data was gathered using a thorough literature analysis and questionnaire surveys as part of a mixed-method research design. The study findings showed that leadership program development build capacity and competencies in leaders, human factors are an important factor in leadership development, and that the organisational structure and systems are critical factors in supporting leadership development. However, the findings indicated that leadership development is not supported and leaders in healthcare organisations are not trained. The implications include: - Policy consideration for investment in healthcare leader and leadership development; Practical - Organisations to consider supporting internal leadership development; and Future research- focus on evaluating healthcare leadership effectiveness, and evaluation of strategies utilized in training healthcare leaders.
