To illustrate that the LEADS framework is not just for formal leaders, and is universal in its recommendations for good leadership, we asked experts from the Canadian Indigenous health world to help us understand how it can help bring leadership to life in health in Indigenous communities. Similarly, we asked patients to explore LEADS in the context of people centred care. Other invited authors explored LEADS in the professions; and described how leadership talent management is organized on the national level in countries similar to Canada; and to provincial health regions in Canada and Australia. Each author is profiled, and a short synopsis of their chapter is provided.
