“…To address these needs, several regional PHTCs have become the institutional homes of public health leadership institutes (PHLIs), which have served for more than 2 decades as a primary source of leadership development for individuals in the public health sector. As a key component of public health workforce development, the PHLIs have shown success in increasing knowledge, building networks, advancing graduates' careers, and supporting graduates' application of leadership skills in practice 18–21…”

Context:The current public health system is underresourced and understaffed, which has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, there has been a decline in the public health workforce at both state and local levels during the last decade. While workforce numbers dwindle, public health systems have to address increasingly complex challenges-such as climate change, chronic diseases, and health equity-challenges that require skilled, adaptive leaders. This article describes the importance of leadership development and how 3 public health training centers (PHTCs) are building leadership skills in the public health workforce. Program: To address the need for public health leadership training, the PHTCs in the Health & Human Services (HHS) Regions 4, 7, and 10 all offer public health leadership institutes (PHLIs). Implementation: The 3 PHLIs discussed in this article vary in longevity (3-18 years), cohort length (8-12 months), and format (virtual, in-person, and hybrid); yet, all 3 emphasize adaptive leadership through a health equity lens and intentional opportunities to apply skills in practice. Evaluation: Each PHLI conducts extensive evaluation based on Kirkpatrick's levels of evaluation and collects common metrics collected by all PHTCs. Data from the PHLIs illustrate high levels of satisfaction with learning, presentation of data, identification of workplace actions, and improvement of subject matter understanding. Each PHLI also has numerous stories of impact. Discussion: With public health leaders leaving the workforce and the complexities of practice increasing, leadership training is critical to the current workforce and succession planning. These PHTCs provide a significant, enduring resource toward the development of our nation's public health leaders, as well as meeting the unique needs of their regions' workforces.

“…A recent retrospective study used the Kirkpatrick model, a highly regarded model for evaluating training programs in business and public health to explore the effectiveness of five PHLIs from around the nation (Brinkerhoff & Dressler, 2002; Kirkpatrick & Kirkpatrick, 2006; Potter, Barron, & Cioffi, 2003). The results from the study showed that graduates perceived that they were highly satisfied with their training, increased their knowledge, and were using the skills in practice (Grimm, Tibbits, Soliman, Siahpush, in press), representing the first three levels of the Kirkpatrick model (see Supplemental Table S1). Past studies have also supported these findings and have shown success in increasing knowledge, building networks, and advancing graduate’s careers (Saleh, Williams, & Balougan, 2004; Umble, Gunn, Diehl, & Haws, 2007; Woltring, Constantine, & Schwarte, 2003).…”

For over 20 years the current model of Public Health Leadership Institutes (PHLIs) has been the primary model for "leadership" development. Past studies have shown that the model is successful in increasing participants' knowledge and developing individual skills. However, limited evidence suggests that the model leads to outcome-based results. This review compares the current PHLI model with traditional corporate leadership development models and determines that the PHLI model is in fact related more closely with a "leader" development model. Additionally, it is suggested that it is not possible to measure outcome-based results because of the limitations of the current model. Finally, recommendations are made to refine the model to make it more closely aligned with a true "leadership" development model, thus making it more effective at educating and training the current public health workforce.
