Dr. Leonard Marcus
DR. LEONARD MARCUS is founding Co-Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative, a collaborative effort of the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard Kennedy School, Center for Public Leadership developed in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House, and the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense. In recent years, Lenny‘s research, teaching, and consultation have played a key role in national and international preparedness and emergency response.
Lenny and his colleagues pioneered development of the conceptual and pragmatic basis for “Meta-Leadership”- overarching leadership that strategically links the work of different agencies and levels of government; “Connectivity” – the coordination of people, organizations, resources, and information to best catch, contain, and control a terrorist or other threat to the public’s health and well-being; and “Swarm Intelligence” as it applies to crisis leadership.
