About the Book

Instructor Resources: Test bank, PowerPoint slides, and answer guides to discussion questions
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

Leadership for Public Health: Theory and Practice presents a practical framework for leaders at any public health organization, regardless of size or type, and at any level in the organizational hierarchy. Ultimately, the book aims to develop the leadership necessary to galvanize organizations and communities in transformational change to improve the public's health.
About the Author: James W. Holsinger Jr., MD, PhD, has practiced leadership in a variety of organizations both in academia and in federal (civilian and military) and state government.

In 1992, he became the first undersecretary for health in the Department of Veterans Affairs. From 1994 to 2003, he served as chancellor of the University of Kentucky Medical Center. In 2003, Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher appointed him as the first secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. After serving in that role for two years, Dr. Holsinger returned to the University of Kentucky faculty in 2005.
