Scenario:
You are the Director of the local public health department. You are at a social event one evening with many political leaders and influential community members. You meet one particularly influential person who is an avowed "market justice" advocate (even if he or she doesn't use that terminology). You introduce yourself. The person looks puzzled and replies, "Public health, huh? You know, I don't know much about public health. What are you guys all about? What do you do? What are your values?" How would you respond?
Post by Day 4 your response to the following: (Reminder: Your initial response must be made in a single posting.
- What would you tell this person in order to communicate the social justice perspective and values to this market-justice leader in the community?
- Identify and discuss 2-3 of the principles you learned from this week's Learning Resources on influencing others and surviving as a leader that you would want to apply in this scenario.
