title: Management competencies for Canadian health executives: views from the field.
abstract: In August 2003, a national survey of 485 (56% response rate) Canadian health service managers and executives ranked the importance and assessed their proficiency in 31 managerial competencies. While the survey respondents appear to agree with the importance of the 31 competencies, we have identified a gap between the perceived level of importance and self-assessed proficiency level that should be addressed by the Canadian College of Health Service Executives.
