Today's rapidly evolving public health arena urgently needs effective leaders. In
fact, this need is so pressing that the major public health associations have come
together to call for a new emphasis on leadership development in the public
health workforce.
Leadership for Public Health: Theory and Practice aims to answer this call. The book
is based on the premise that skilled public health leaders consider people their
most valuable resource and are prepared to lead those people through a wide
variety of situations. Acknowledging that effective leadership cannot rely on a
one-size-fits-all approach, the authors challenge readers to try out a number of
leadership models and theories, determine which are the best fit for their public
health practice, and apply the key principles in their day-to-day work.
The book matches its detailed discussion of leadership theory with examples and
cases specific to the field of public health. Written primarily for graduate-level
public health students, it is also useful for public health leadership institutes and
public health practitioners looking to develop their leadership skills. The book is
structured in three parts:
*
*
*

The Basis for Effective Public Health Practice, which provides an overview
of leadership and professionalism in today's public health landscape
Leadership Theories and Concepts, which explores the models of leadership
most likely to aid aspiring leaders
The Effective Practice of Public Health Leadership, which further develops
the theories and concepts as they apply to public health
