Abstract

How do you take over an organisation at its historical peak? With great and unenviable difficulty. The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is seeking a new Director. Andy Haines is stepping down after an outstanding decade of leadership. The School is one of the world's premier institutions in global health—and certainly the UK's greatest. It is now at a critical juncture. It is a much debated question as to whether the School can continue to exist as an independent institution or whether it must connect itself to a similarly great and geographically close university. Global predicaments in health demand multidisciplinary solutions. How should the School widen its disciplinary base? There is an emerging clutch of strong and surprising internal and external candidates, in the UK and overseas. This appointment matters.
