Strategic Leadership
Moving from Strategy to Action and Impact
Public Health Nursing Leadership is about influence that moves individuals, groups, communities and systems toward achieving goals that will result in improved population health outcomes. How do we as public health leaders influence moving from strategy to action and impact? In this interactive session, participants will examine strategies to address public health issues and challenges, including the social determinants of health and advancing health equity. Participants will explore a number of key questions:
-
Does public health leadership to address the determinants of health and advance health equity require different knowledge, skills and attitudes?
-
How is that leadership developed, and supported? What contributes?
-
How do we lead from where we are?
A variety of participatory strategies will be used throughout the Workshop, including a keynote address and an interactive conversation with a panel of leaders.
