Objectives
By the end of this module you will be able to:
• Describe the evolution of public health and public
health leadership.
• Describe the opportunities and challenges for
leaders of 21st century Global Health.
• Discuss the ramifications and implications of small
world networks for public health leaders.
• Define the concept of Meta-Leadership.
• Discuss the necessity and opportunities for crosssector collaborations.
"We need to learn how to build a connectivity that
includes people who are not like us—people in
business, people in the faith-based sector, people
in the health care delivery system, people in the
nonprofit community—and there is one absolutely
essential requirement to our capacity to do this
kind of collaboration. It is the concept of metaleadership."
—Julie Louise Gerberding, MD, MPH

Requires:
• Fast detection
• Fast science
• Fast and effective communication
• Fast and effective integration
• Fast and effective action
Globalization, connectivity, and speed!
We know what the future promises:
Surprise. A speeded up existence. And a fair amount of
chaos.
The future also promises us new possibilities. Astounding
opportunities. A higher standard of living, more job freedom,
plus the chance to achieve more potential.
And the future will keep its word.

Nothing's Easy for New Orleans Flood Control
By JON NORDHEIMER
“There's no way to minimize the amount of devastation that
could take place under such circumstances," warned Walter S.
Maestri, director of emergency management of Jefferson
Parish, a suburban region with 455,000 residents on the city's
western and southern sides…
Many residents give little thought to such matters, counting on the
knowledge that New Orleans has escaped hurricane disaster in the
past.

The Five Dimensions of Meta-Leadership
• Know how to get out of the basement.
• Manage your behavior and emotions and be aware of
those around you.
• Know how and when to be a good passive/active leader.
• Acknowledge and manage chaos.
• Use your imagination to see where the event may take
you.
• Create and maintain an operational picture of the event.

Leadership out and across organizational networks
 Collaborative
 Participatory
 Negotiated
Centralize strategy; delegate operations and tactics to
frontline experts
 Minimize central “authority”
 Distribute responsibility—network-centric
Coordinate via communication networks and
performance measurement
Let people lead!
Learn as you go!

community to facilitate meta-leadership activities?
A.
Yes
B.
In some areas
C.
Maybe
D.
I don’t know how to implement this

face cannot be solved at the same level
