Enduring questions about equity are front and center at this watershed moment in health care and public health. Inequities that became evident in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 have highlighted long-standing disparities in health by race and ethnicity. Current crises require examining and reorienting the systems that have, for decades, produced these health inequities; yet, public health and health care leaders are inadequately prepared to respond. The authors offer an equity-centered leadership framework to support the development of visionary leaders for tomorrow. This framework for leadership development programs interweaves traditional leadership and equity, diversity, and inclusion domains in both conceptual knowledge and skills-based teaching for health care and public health leaders, grouping competencies and skills into 4 domains: personal, interpersonal, organizational, and community and systems. A framework such as this will equip leaders with the mindset and skill set to challenge the paradigms that lead to inequity and health disparities.
