Throughout Topics 2-5 of the course, you will participate in a series of Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignments. These assignments will build upon one another and be used as the basis for the Reflective Journal assignments throughout the course.
This CLC assignment has an individual component that must be completed and shared with the group before the CLC assignment can be developed and submitted.
The purpose of this assignment is to assess how leadership styles, traits, and practices, and the role of servant leadership, are applied in public health.
