      ab: Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify the key characteristics of leaders that support the implementation of innovations in aged care settings. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of papers from a large scoping review that identified how leaders supported the implementation of innovations in aged care. Once imported into NVivo12, the findings were deductively coded using the domains of Bloom's taxonomy of learning. Each parent code was then inductively analyzed to identify key characteristics within each domain. Results: Our review identified four types of knowledge, five skills, and six attitudes that leaders should exhibit to better support the implementation of innovations within aged care settings. In addition to our findings regarding Bloom's learning domains, we identified nine leadership behaviors that participants in the included papers perceived as valuable for enhancing the implementation process. Furthermore, we identified four key organizational elements that support leaders in navigating and facilitating the implementation of innovations within aged care settings. Conclusion: Our review identified the characteristics that leaders should demonstrate when supporting the implementation of innovations in aged care. Importantly, our findings also emphasized the changing role of leadership from a hierarchical approach to a more collaborative, supportive, and empowering style. The insights identified in this review will help to guide aged care leaders, stressing the significance of adaptable and relational leadership styles that will guide the implementation of innovations within the aged care sector. http://links.lww.com/IJEBH/A271
