Strength of the leader

A leader in the public health organization plays a vital role since they guide the whole team. He is the person who leads the team. The strengths of the leader are to bring out the powers and strength of the team members. The in the public health department has to take care of the health of the mothers, infants and their family so as to promote the well being of them (McVeigh et al, 2016). They are strong, confident thereby gaining experience by working for improvement of the health of the people and for prevention of the disease. The leaders are dynamic who helps to improve the potential capability of the members to help to fulfill the goal of improvement of health of the society.

Weakness of a leader

The greatest weakness of a leader is that he becomes rude and adamant person in the team, which is a negative trait and which will de motivate the people and the goals cannot be achieved. The team leader shall always set the priorities. He shall not be too accessible to the team members and he should not have the negative traits of answering the unnecessary ones. Currently the biggest weaknesses the leaders are facing are the stagnancy. The stagnant performance of a leader can affect his team (Nooteboom & Termeer, 2013).

Opportunities of a leader

• With the changing lifestyle and change in the public health organization it is important for the public health organization to take preventive steps for the taking xcare of the health of the people.The education and the developing economics have resulted in the growth of the cosmetic sector. In these days the person are taken well care of for the health of the woman, child and therefore helps in the prevention of the diseases of them.

Thus the company will be able to be a leader in the industey and is able to participate in the community which focuses on the society (Gulati and Soni, 2015).

Threats:

• Secondly due to the changing lifestyle of the people, most of the people are becoming sensitive to the all the things. Thus there are allergies to the people and therefore they face risk and there is loss of people. They shall make strategic planning and have decision making so that there is proper resource allocation.

The health is an important factor in the human life therefore on interview with the public administrator they said that have made the plans and they came out with a various plans for the woman and the infants that they face when they are infants (Reich & Gregory, 2014).

One of the examples is RONNA GOTTHAINER: They had a plan in place, and then things happened that were beyond their control that changed things. In 2009, Health Department suffered about a 43% cut in one of our funding sources. And that supported quite a few programs that local health departments had, which meant that they had to very quickly determine how to stop providing certain services, how to try to move staff into other programs. But ultimately, we were required to lay off some staff, shut some programs down.
