title: Passing the baton--toward making a case for a Canadian centre for health leadership.
abstract: This paper demonstrates that the average tenure of current senior leaders in the health sector has declined sharply over the last three decades, and is substantially shorter than that of leaders in the private and public arenas. It offers potential reasons for this downward trend, and sets out the broad parameters for a Canadian Centre for Health Leadership, which could help better identify, develop, support, and celebrate leadership in health and healthcare in Canada.
