Summary
Effective public health practice requires a combination of expertise and influence. Yet gaining expertise in the subject matter is only one element of practice: the ability to influence outcomes, policy, services and the people who make decisions is crucial. To deploy your expertise to have an impact, you must hone leadership and management skills to persuade, encourage and empower others. This chapter, therefore, aims to:
offer a brief overview of different schools of thought in leadership;
propose a simple framework of eight core domains for identifying skills and areas for professional development;
introduce some popular theories for understanding others, which can enable you to work more effectively with individuals and influence within teams and organizations; and
signpost to some key models of conceptualizing change and how to lead or manage change.
