Reflections on Public Health Leadership

As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Journal of Public Health Management & Practice (JPHMP), it seems useful to begin with a brief acknowledgement of the central leadership role played by Dr Lloyd Novick in this “labor of love” for public health practitioners. Given his deep experience in the practice world, his extraordinary editorial eyes and ears, and his vast network of public health colleagues, Lloyd has been the perfect leader for the entire 25-year life span of the journal—an exceptional “run” in many ways. As noted in the classic text on Leadership by Northouse, effective leaders exemplify the central leadership traits of intelligence, integrity, and determination; Lloyd’s modeling of these and other exceptional leadership traits has been central to the journal’s success as the “go-to resource” for public health practitioners for a quarter of a century.
