This abstract explores competences required of healthcare leaders in the face of rapid global change. Trends affecting the way we live and work include technological advancements, demographic shifts, geopolitical dynamics, a weakened world economy, and ecological sustainability. Healthcare leaders are increasingly challenged to adapt to these multifaceted changes, emphasizing the need for transformative leadership and a culture of continuous learning. The study explores the competences necessary for healthcare leaders in welfare countries, focusing on Northern Europe, Australia and Canada, to address these evolving demands, especially focusing on analyzing post-Covid articles for our result. It highlights the central role of updated leadership competences to guarantee patient safety and fostering workforce health and satisfaction. As the world continues to evolve, the healthcare field must adapt, necessitating leaders with a broad skill set that includes leading oneself, engaging others, achieving results, developing coalitions, system transformation, and the ability to navigate complexity. The study's primary objectives are to clarify the importance of a learning culture for the future of healthcare and identify the essential competences required for healthcare leaders to cultivate such a culture. The research employs a literature review with deductive content analysis to answer these questions and provide insights for further research.
