Critical Reflection On Practicing Public Health Leadership Course

This course showed me that the ability to influence, motivate, and enable others towards organizational success is much beyond critical of a leader than just accomplishing the organization’s goal.

This process of borrowing selectively from various people different leadership styles would suggest me taking elements I have learned from other’s styles and behaviors and making them my

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." Dwight D. Eisenhower This quote from Eisenhower rings true on many levels. During my career in the military and the private sector, I have been subjected to many different styles of leadership, good or bad.

One influence during my review of the literature was that; although easier for some, I see leadership as something we must continually improve upon. This is in contrast to my belief during my first day of class, when I thought leaders just

We live in a world where healthcare is ever-changing due to technological and clinical advances, which produces new challenges as a result.

Before this class, I had a very primitive and vague definition of leadership. Not only did I define it as per my views and ideologies, but I also said that each individual has their own definition of leadership. My initial belief was that leadership does not have a clear cut definition, but there were well defined leadership traits which made an individual.
