Management Sciences for Health is pleased to announce the publication of
Managers Who Lead: A Handbook for Improving Health Services.

 "This is one book you should keep close at hand. It is truly a one-stop
guide to leadership in the world of health services. Full of insights
and practical advice" - Jay A. Conger, Author, Building Leaders

"The book's most important idea is to move managers from being managers
to becoming leaders, regardless of their level." - Timothee Gandaho,
Executive Director, Partners in Population and Development, Dhaka,
Bangladesh

Health program managers everywhere grapple with the same challenges:
Tackling complex health problems with limited resources. Defining
priorities. Inspiring staff. Initiating change. Demonstrating measurable
results.

Managers Who Lead empowers health managers at all levels of the health
system-in the public or private sector-to lead teams to face challenges
and achieve results. It answers questions such as: How can I lead and
manage more effectively? How do I create a shared vision and a clear
path for achieving it? What can I do to improve work climate? How can I
prepare myself and others for higher levels of responsibility? How do I
lead change inside and outside my organization? 

This handbook provides practical approaches for applying key leading and
managing practices that managers can use with their teams to face
challenges, overcome obstacles, and realize their vision of better
health for all. Real-life examples illustrate how to transform work
groups and organizations into high performers. It offers exercises and
guidelines facilitators and managers can use to strengthen individual
and team performance, and the accompanying CD-ROM includes a wealth of
additional resources for developing the ability to lead.

Managers Who Lead is based on more than 20 years of experience in
working with health professionals around the world to strengthen the
performance of health organizations and improve people's health. It
builds on the ideas of renowned leadership thinkers and researchers and
applies these approaches to the challenges that health managers face.
Managers will come back to this book again and again for guidelines and
inspiration. 

Funding for this handbook was provided by the Office of Population and
Reproductive Health, Bureau for Global Health, US Agency for
International Development (USAID) through the Management and Leadership
(M&L) Program.
