The
Leadership Unit was established to oversee and
coordinate the leadership curricula that have been
created to enhance the staff's leadership capacity.
The
Leadership Unit provides public health staff at various
levels with the opportunity to develop their leadership
skills regardless of role, level, or area of
specialization. This includes skills that can be applied
when confronting and resolving urgent public health
issues. Increasing leadership abilities and
effectiveness of staffworking to improve public health
in Los Angeles County will assist in meeting the goals
of the Department. The Leadership Unit works diligently
to see that multiple opportunities are available for
skill development and enhancement. The unit offers
leadership development instruction in several training
courses including: Emotional Intelligence, 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People, New Supervisor Development
Program and Public Speaking Levels 1 and 2.
The
Leadership Unit also partners with Los Angeles
County-Department of Human Resources to provide courses
for Public Health supervisors and managers. The unit
also assists with the scheduling of the Director of
Public Health Site Visits.
