LEADERSHIP INTERVIEW ASSIGNMENT
Much of the class to date has focused on measurement, but there is much more to management than just looking at the numbers. Managing a public health program also involves leadership, the ability to motivate people towards a common goal. While there are many books on leadership, much can be learned from interviewing a leader and hearing what they do to lead.
For this assignment, you are expected to conduct a 20-30 minute interview with a public health or healthcare leader. The person you select should have experience in managing a program and directing the activities of others. Your goal is to learn more about what leaders do, how they exercise leadership, and how they are successful.
Challenges they encountered and how they were overcome can also be very instructive.
Before going into the interview, you should prepare some interview questions. These questions should be based on what you want to learn so everyone may have different things they ask. The questions should serve as a guide to the interview but you should feel free to deviate from the questions to pursue interesting things that might come up during the interview.
Submit a 2-3 page write-up. This write-up should briefly describe who you interviewed, what you discussed, and what insights about leadership that you learned from the interview.
