More About Population Health Leadership
Reimagining How To Enhance Leadership Skills in Population Health
Reimagining what leadership looks like and how it works is foundational to advancing real change and fostering greater leadership in public health organizations.
This process includes moving beyond the individualistic model of leadership and embracing the idea instead that leadership is a collective process; leveraging collaborative, intentional networks drawing on communities and groups that have historically been excluded from systems of power and influence; helping leaders to thrive in a fast-moving environment, learning while doing; and fostering a culture of resilience where individuals support one another with encouragement and resources from organizations and communities.
