ABSTRACT
Experience has shown us that coalitions are fragile and without proper leadership, membership, nurturing, and follow through, can quickly disintegrate. This chapter discusses ten steps that will help the Transformative Leader to have a successful coalition with a positive impact on a community population health issue. This chapter will discuss the life cycle of a coalition, which shows how it must adapt and evolve to sustain itself for the long term. In addition, assessing the health of the coalition and making sure the right anchor organization is in place helps sustain the coalition.
