Public Health For The Twenty-First Century: The Prepared Leader by Louis Rowitz (School of Public Health, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois) is an in-depth 521-page study of the public health leadership policy and the need to address fundamental health preparedness issues on a global scale rather than a provincial one. Addressing a variety of public health concerns ranging from SARS, to bioterrorism, to health issues arising from the events of 9/11, and so much more, Public Health For The Twenty-First Century offers readers a complete introduction to community preparation and governmentally influenced adaptations based upon studies of actual events and interviews with concrete suggestions directed toward the improvement of public awareness and public health leadership in our medical and governmental responses. For its precise directives for situational and societal health and medical policy reforms, Public Health For The Twenty-First Century is very strongly recommended reading for health issue activists, medical service administrators, and governmental policy makers.
By Midwest Book Review
Dr. Rowitz' has a marvelous capacity for explaining complex concepts in exceedingly well-written language. He dedicates an entire chapter on Emotional Intelligence discussing a few EQ frameworks put out by writers over the past decade - (Goleman, Cooper and Sawaf, Feldman) explaining their ideas and why they may be considered important for a leader.
In the people skills/EQ chapter, Dr. Rowitz intersperes several exercises throughout on group work that could easily be adapted by teams in industry, used by an individual as an introspection exercise, or ignored. I've read the chapter without doing the exercises and gotten more from it on EQ than reading 5 other books on the subject. He finishes with a summary of People Smart strategies (Kravitz and Schubert, 2000)- flexibility in communication, personal stress management, show respect for others, etc.
This book is an absolute MUST for anyone in public health. From the preface: "Public health preparedness is all about the community; it is also about our quality of life. Public health preparedness is about new partnerships and relationships. It is about building social capital and thus the capacity of our communities to carry out programs and initiatives that promote health, prevent diseases, and protect our residents from harm."
