JAM 34: Leading Change and Inspiring Others

Indigenous Canadians have a goal of socio-economic parity with mainstream Canadians. Many leaders of organizations are adapting to a new reality while achieving their goals. This reality includes a focus on sustainability, diversity and inclusion, work-life balance and rapid technological changes to name a few. The gap between today’s reality and that of tomorrow requires individuals to ensure their leadership style can lead the change needed and inspire others to play a crucial role in attaining a common goal.

Some questions that may be considered in this issue:

      1. Can you share a success story of a leader who has inspired others? What are the lessons learned from their story?
      2. How can leaders ensure that diversity, inclusion and/or sustainability are at the forefront of their initiatives?
      3. What methods can be used for measuring success of change initiatives?
      4. How do you approach building a shared vision for change and rallying others around a common goal?
      5. How do traditional Indigenous values inform leadership practices?
