Overview

Public Health Leaders Tell Their Stories is drawn from a two-part issue from the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice in which public health practitioners write about their experience as leaders. Through real life case histories, each of the authors explores the dynamics, the conflict, the politics of actual events, and the strategy and process that won the desired outcome. This book will serve as a guide for public health leaders, executives, and managers in advancing their cause into the 21st century.
