Public Health Leadership in a Crisis - Zin Htway, Ph.D., Lecturer in Biology — Public health leadership in a crisis theorizes the application of four leadership skills: technical skills, interpersonal skills, conceptual skills, and emotional skills. A leader of a public health crisis will have to use these four skills for coordinating, managing, and direction staff and resources. The importance of this leadership theory is for future public health crisis leaders to gain better understanding of the role of public health leadership in a crisis.
