Abstract "The training and development of public health practitioners is dominated by volumes of information on the technical aspects of public health practice. While this information is vital, there remains a lack of real discussion of the cross-cutting strategic skills required for successful leadership and management of public health agencies. If we have learned anything over our careers working in and for governmental public health departments it is this: the future of public health requires depth of understanding in the specialized, science-based, and technical aspects of what improves health and wellness and a breadth of understanding in the strategic skills that support effective public health practice"-- Provided by publisher.
