Spears-Jones C , Myles R , Porch T , Parris S , Ivy-Knudsen M , Dean HD . Workplace Health Saf 2021 69 (9) 21650799211001728 BACKGROUND: Leading Change is one of five Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) used in developing leaders in the federal government. Leadership development programs that incorporate multirater feedback and executive coaching are valuable in developing competencies to lead change. METHODS: We examined the extent by which coaching influenced Leading Change competencies and identified effective tools and resources used to enhance the leadership capacity of first- and midlevel leaders at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, and Tuberculosis Prevention. Data included qualitative data collected via semi-structured interviews that focused on leadership changes made by leaders in the Coaching and Leadership Initiative (CaLI), a leadership development program for Team Leads and Branch Chiefs. FINDINGS: Ninety-six participants completed leadership coaching; 94 (98%) of whom completed one or more interviews. Of those 94 respondents, 74 (79%) reported improvements in their ability to lead change in 3 of 4 leading change competencies: creativity and innovation, flexibility, and resilience. All respondents indicated tools and resources that were effective in leading change: 49 (52%) participated in instructor-led activities during their CaLI experience; 33 (35%) experiential activities; 94 (100%) developmental relationships, assessment, and feedback; and 25 (27%) self-development. CONCLUSIONS/APPLICATION TO PRACTICE: First- and midlevel leaders in a public health agency benefitted from using leadership coaching in developing competencies to lead organizational change. Leadership development programs might benefit from examining Leading Change competencies and including instructor-led and experiential activities as an additional component of a comprehensive leadership development program. |
Changing leadership behaviors in a public health agency through coaching and multirater feedback
Dean HD , Myles RL , Porch T , Parris S , Spears-Jones C . J Public Health Manag Pract 2019 27 (1) 46-54 CONTEXT: Public health managers' leadership skills can be improved through multirater feedback and coaching. OBJECTIVE: To explore to what extent participation in a coaching intervention influences leadership behaviors of first- and second-level leaders in a federal public health agency. DESIGN: Team leads and branch chiefs in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) were invited to participate in the Coaching and Leadership Initiative (CaLI), which incorporates the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Leadership 360 assessment, 6 coaching sessions, and 2 in-depth interviews. SETTING: NCHHSTP is one of 16 CDC national centers, institute, and offices. PARTICIPANTS: Staff serving as team leads or branch chiefs. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Two in-depth interviews explored CaLI's influence on leadership behaviors regarding the government-wide Leading People executive core qualification. RESULTS: A total of 103 (93%) CaLI participants completed the OPM 360 feedback, 82 (80%) completed leadership coaching; 71 of 82 (87%) completed phase 1 interview, and 46 of 71 (65%) completed phase 2 interview. Eighty unique participants completed 1 or more interviews; all indicated that CaLI helped provide new perspectives, practices, and approaches that led to better communication and relationships, different approaches to conflict resolution, and awareness of individual leadership practices. Of the 71 participants who completed phase 1 evaluation, 66 (93%) said they made changes in developing others, 56 (79%) completed conflict management and team building, and 16 (23%) completed leveraging diversity. Of the 46 participants who completed both phase 1 and phase 2 interviews and among those who made changes post-CaLI, 23 of 26 (88%) sustained those leadership changes in developing others, 21 of 27 (78%) in team building; 24 of 34 (71%) in conflict management; and 5 of 10 (50%) in leveraging diversity. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the benefits and effectiveness of using multirater feedback and leadership coaching for first- and midlevel public health leaders. |
Pathology in practice
Edwards EE , Birch SM , Hoppes SM , Keating MK , Stoica G . J Am Vet Med Assoc 2018 253 (4) 423-426 A 7-month-old 370-g (0.81-lb) sexually intact female common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) that was kept as a pet was taken to a referring veterinarian after a sudden onset of lethargy and inappetence. A diagnosis of pulmonary consolidation and colic was made, and the owners were instructed to administer supportive treatments to the marmoset at home. The next day, the animal's condition slowly worsened with development of neurologic signs including disorientation, trembling, and ataxia. The marmoset was brought to the Zoological Medicine Service at Texas A&M University on an emergency basis but died during hospitalization the next day, approximately 72 hours following the initial onset of clinical signs. The marmoset was submitted for necropsy. The marmoset lived with an 11-month-old male marmoset and had access to an outdoor porch allowing for indirect contact with a feral cat. Human contact with the marmoset was limited to the 2 owners and the referring veterinarian and veterinary staff. According to the owner, not long after the death of the female marmoset, the male marmoset from the household developed similar clinical signs and died shortly thereafter. A necropsy was not performed on that animal. |
Sylvatic typhus associated with flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) in New York State, United States
Prusinski MA , White JL , Wong SJ , Conlon MA , Egan C , Kelly-Cirino CD , Laniewicz BR , Backenson PB , Nicholson WL , Eremeeva ME , Karpathy SE , Dasch GA , White DJ . Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis 2014 14 (4) 240-4 Sylvatic typhus is an infrequent, potentially life-threatening emerging zoonotic disease. In January of 2009, the New York State Department of Health was notified of a familial cluster of two suspected cases. Due to the paucity of typhus cases in New York, epidemiologic and environmental investigations were conducted to establish rickettsial etiology and determine potential sources of infection. Patients presented with symptoms consistent with typhus, and serologic testing of each patient confirmed infection with typhus group rickettsiae. Serologic analysis of blood obtained from southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) captured from the attic crawlspace above an enclosed front porch of the cases' residence indicated evidence of infection with Rickettsia prowazekii, with 100% seroprevalence (n=11). Both patients reported spending significant time on the porch and hearing animal activity above the ceiling prior to onset of illness, implicating these flying squirrels as the likely source of infection. |
