Furthermore, ample evidence exists that health worker motivation and retention is highly influenced by the quality of Reelin management in their work setting.14-16 Nevertheless, management education, largely reserved in low- and middle-income countries for business curricula, is limited in medical or public health training globally. As in just about every enterprise, good management is fundamental to high performance. Although the importance of management is well-established in private industry, its role in healthcare has been overshadowed by the more visible, clinical roles in healthcare organizations. To develop a robust field of management in global health efforts, we need to consider: (a) requisite core competencies, (b) personnel targets for management capacity building, and (c) strengthening the research supporting the role of management in improving health system performance. Principles from health policy and systems research,17 particularly related to research paradigms and approaches may be helpful in this regard. We advocate for 8 core competencies in management of global health efforts (Table), which align with health management competencies more broadly but includes domains that can be tailored across resource and care settings. While the competencies apply across levels of management, the level of control and portion of time spent in each area will vary based on the structure and level of the hierarchy within the larger health system. The competencies are: (1) strategic thinking and problem solving, (2) human resource management, (3) financial management, (4) operations management, (5) performance management and accountability, (6 governance and leadership, (7) political analysis and dialogue, and (8) community and customer assessment and engagement. Strategic thinking and problem solving refers to the ability to set an objective, calculate risks and align resources for problem solving such that the organization may be well-positioned to achieve its goals. This competency requires an ability to see the connections among elements of the system and to understand enabling and impeding forces in the alignment of resources and objectives. Skills within this domain include defining a problem and setting SMART (specific, measureable, assignable, realistic, and time-bound) objectives,18 conducting root causes analyses, comparing alternative strategies, planning implementation, managing friction and dissent, and evaluating outcomes. Within human resources management, we include skills in recruitment and retention, employment, education and training, compensation, employee relations, performance evaluation and mentoring. The competency of financial management encompasses budgeting and budget variance analysis, financial accounting, and capital project evaluation.
