Demonstrating Effective Leadership:
"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand." -General Colin Powell (as cited in Harari, 2002).
For your first writing assignment, you will examine one of the case studies in the Public Health section of your Managing in the Public Sector textbook. You will determine whether the leader in the case study was able to offer a sound solution to the situation presented. You may choose any case study you wish from within the Public Health section.
