Book for Developing the Team and Impacting the Community

Advancing health equity calls for a new kind of leader and a new approach to leadership development. Clinical Scholars and Culture of Health Leaders are mid-career leadership development programs supporting the emergence of collaborative and systemic approaches, bringing teams of leaders together with others in the community to work toward the common goal of lessening health disparities. In each chapter of this book, the authors share how they tackled seemingly intractable issues, making headway through applying principles of adaptive leadership in unbounded systems to create not only outcomes but also impacts on health disparities and, in some cases, sustainable and scalable applications. In this volume, you will learn how Clinical Scholars and Culture of Health Leaders programs curated and measured the successful learning and development of these dedicated health equity advocates.

Book provides real-world examples of developing leaders from and with communities

Leading Community Based Changes in the Culture of Health in the US presents solutions to these vexing questions:

  • To begin, why does the US continue to lag far behind other peer nations despite its economic and political power?
  • Further, why are whole segments of the US population consistently burdened by poor health?
  • In conclusion, what can be done to ensure all people in the US have a fair chance of living a healthy life?
