Community for Practice
Community for Practice
The LeaderShift project is the vision of CHO. This alliance of four provincial associations believes that leaders in community and primary healthcare are well-positioned to make a critical contribution to an improved and more integrated health system.
LeaderShift is an ambitious, new cross-sector initiative that gives current and emerging leaders in community and primary healthcare the opportunity to develop their abilities, ignite collaboration, and participate in shaping the future of our healthcare system.

Testimonials
The uptake of LEADS across Canada has been amazing. This will allow health system leaders to share a common language when leading system change for improvements. 
Gregory Taylor, BSc, MD, CCFP, FRCPC
Chief Public Health Officer, Public Health Agency of Canada
Accreditation Canada has implemented the Leads framework by providing 360 feedback to management, incorporating it in its ongoing performance appraisal process and reaching out to all staff through education sessions. We have found the initiatives to support us in having a common language, setting goals, building a succession plan for the organization and increasing collaboration within the organization. It is important to recognize that it should be relevant to everyone in the organization to really build leadership at all levels.
Spotlight
The Succession Management Toolkit developed by Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is based on best practice evidence, HHS experience and application. It provides leaders with approaches, tools, and templates that guide organizations to assess, evaluate, and develop their top talent; those who wish to grow their leadership potential and career within the organization. Building internal top talent retains top performers, builds leadership capacity, and preserves experiential knowledge only obtained by existing talent.

LEADS 360 Assessments
Does your organization need support to develop successful LEADERS?
The LEADS 360 Assessment is a feedback process primarily for development purposes. It focuses on leadership and takes the capabilities identified in the LEADS in Caring Environment capabilities framework and identifies sentinel behaviors that would be exhibited by front-line, mid-level, senior, or executive level leaders. Visit our LEADS Services page to learn more.
To learn how to implement the LEADS 360 Assessment in your organization, contact Kate Lawrie, Administrative Coordinator, LEADS 360 Support at klawrie@leadscanada.net.
