An Occupational Perspective on Leadership: Theoretical and Practical Dimensions Tapa blanda - 2015 - 2nd Edición

Sandra Barker Dunbar, DPA, OTR/L, FAOTA, completed her undergraduate degree at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, CA, her master of arts in occupational therapy from New York University in New York City, and her doctor of public administration degree from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The latter degree exposed her to organizational behavior, leadership, management, and strategic planning content, all of which have influenced her work in occupational therapy.
Sandra is currently the Assistant Dean of Professional Development and Education in the College of Health Care Sciences at Nova Southeastern University. Her responsibilities include the coordination of the Center for Academic and Professional Excellence, which includes a Leadership and Management Academy for faculty who desire to develop and improve their leadership skills. Sandra continues to be involved with occupational therapy in her appointment as a professor, as well as in her work as a private home health clinician and consultant. Her belief that everyday leadership provides numerous opportunities to encourage personal and professional growth has been reinforced by the process of compiling this second edition of An Occupational Perspective on Leadership: Theoretical and Practical Dimensions.
