Self and System Transformation: Leadership Competencies for Advancing Indigenous Health

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its Calls to Action in 2015, including the seven health-related Calls. Progress has been variable and slow, including in the health-related Calls to Action. Drawing on our combined experience as Indigenous health leaders, we propose new leadership competencies for supporting Indigenous health workers and emerging Indigenous leaders. We envision these competencies as uniquely necessary to advance antiracism and decolonization approaches that will move the dial from interim progress to meaningful differences in Indigenous health and health workforce outcomes.
