DAY 1
Understanding what it means to be a manager
Professor Househam will introduce the master class concept reflecting
on his personal experiences over 20 years as a manager heading two
provincial health departments through times of political transition and
health system transformation. He will draw practical lessons from
episodes in his career when faced with budgetary crises, service delivery
challenges and political change he led these two departments to financial
stability and quality service delivery during his term of office. He will also
outline the challenges he faced as a senior health service manager both in
his personal and professional life during this time once gain drawing
lessons for the master class participants from these experiences
Professor Craig
Househam
A roadmap out of personal stress
An experienced life coach and management consultant, Mr. William
Elliott, will provide advice on understanding and managing oneself as a
prerequisite for a productive and fulfilling personal and professional life.
He will briefly outline behavioural principles that advance a greater self-
understanding and awareness. Together with Professor Househam who
has worked with Mr. Elliot on a personal level over a number of years, he
will discuss the path to greater self-awareness. Within the time available
while the subject cannot be fully developed, master class participants will
be able to consider where they are in their personal and management
lives, and how they could consider developing themselves further.
William Elliott
Launching your own path of “Getting Things Done
Building on the previous session, Managing your Personal and Work Life
Better, Mr. William Elliott, who is trained in the “Getting Things Done”
(GTD) methodology, will focus on this methodology developed by the best-
selling author, David Allen, which aims to promote stress-free
performance at work and in life. The premise of this method is that
productivity is directly proportional to the ability to relax. A clear mind
with organized thoughts allows the individual to deliver effective results.
While in the short time available to the master class participants these
concepts cannot be fully developed, the session aims through practical
examples to sensitize participants to the value of self-understanding and
self-management for success in managerial positions.

Howto lead and manage organizational change
Dr. Nicholas Crisp will lead this discussion illustrating from his own
experience both in senior health management and a varied career as a
consultant what is required from a senior manager to lead and manage
change. He will present a number of scenarios derived from actual
experience which will be analyzed further in a facilitated small group
discussion format by the master class participants each lead by a member
of the master class faculty. Lessons drawn for these scenarios as well as
scenarios contributed by master class participants will enable them to
identify potential pitfalls and opportunities in their work situations.
Dr Nicholas Crisp
Managing challenging and difficult people better
This session, which will be facilitated by all 3 of the master class faculty,
Drs. Crisp, Lilhakanyane and Professor Househam, will focus on the
often vexed issue of managing your immediate colleagues, both superiors
and subordinates, particularly when this relationship is proving to be
challenging due to non-performance. Even when performance is adequate
an improved relationship with colleagues and subordinates will unlock
even better performance from both you and your colleagues. For this
session the master class participants will encouraged to analyze their own
workplace relationships and bring to the small group discussions
particular challenges they have experienced and/or successes they have
achieved in resolving conflict with colleagues or difficult employees and
improving performance.
DAY 2
Howto communicate the difficult message
A seasoned communications and reputation management consultant and
previous Director of Strategic Communications for the Premier of the
Western Cape, Mr. Nick Clelland, will lead a discussion focusing on
communicating effectively. Senior managers are often required, without
specific training, to communicate an uncomfortable message that others
would wish to avoid, either to the media or in many cases directly to a
patient or relative. While the message must always be truthful, the
manner in which it is communicated, which is not “spin”, has the potential
to either resolve the issue or exacerbate the problem. The aim of this
session is to provide guidance to managers that will assist in their future
interactions with the media and other parties.
Nick Clelland
Practical pointers to effective decisionmaking
Led by Professor Househam and Dr. Crisp this session will illustrate the
process of reaching a conclusion that allows the manager to take a
decision when confronted with a difficult issue. The ability to take a
decision is one of the key attributes of in particular a senior manager and
at times when that decision has to be taken, the loneliness of a senior
management position becomes apparent. Real life scenarios from the
experiences of both Dr. Crisp and Professor Househam will be used to
develop an approach to decision-making and once gain master class
participants will be encouraged to share their experiences in the
facilitated small group discussions.

Howto manage the funds under your control
Financial management is for many health managers one of the greatest
challenges and yet the principles which govern financial management are
simple although at times difficult to apply. Both at a personal and
professional level the dictum that one cannot spend what one does not
have holds true, but recent history in the South African Public Sector
illustrates that this has not been the case with over-expenditure and
accruals leading to an inability to deliver health services. In the private
sector where shareholders expect a return on their investment there is
similarly an intolerance for a negative bottom line on the balance sheet.
Drs. Crisp, Litlhakanyane and Professor Househam using scenarios
extracted from personal experience will illustrate how to remain in
control of expenditure and remain within the allocated budget.
Ensure that the supply side of your organizationworks
Stock-outs of medication and essential medical supplies have occurred in
South African health services with unfortunate regularity. Failure to
procure equipment and effect the necessary maintenance has lead to
inability to deliver healthcare all of which point to challenges faced with
regard to supply side issues within health service organizations.
Professor Househam and Dr. Crisp will address the challenges of
ensuring efficient supply chain processes and logistics through illustrative
scenarios with a focus on problem-orientated solutions. Master class
participants are encouraged to present the challenges they face with
procurement and supply side logistics for discussions in the facilitated
small group sessions.
DAY 3
Howto reduce and manage medico-legal risks
Medico-legal litigation has been identified in both the private and public
health sector as a major risk to the public profile and financial stability
of health departments and companies operating in the healthcare sector.
Dr. David Bass, medico-legal advisor in the Western Cape Department
of Health will present case studies that illustrate how medico-legal risks
can be avoided or how they are exacerbated. He will also provide
guidelines on the handling of incidents of medical malpractice when they
occur and the subsequent legal claims that may arise. Master class
participants are again encouraged to contribute their own experience
with medico-legal cases in the small group discussions.
Dr. David Bass
Understanding the political managerial interface
Whether in the private or public sector a senior manager may at some
time be required to interact with a political office bearer. Whilst in some
cases the political office bearer may have a health background in many
instances this is not the case. An efficient management of the
managerial/political interface requires a good understanding of the
roles and functions of the various role-players. Professor Househam who
has an extensive experience in this regard having worked with many
national and provincial politicians together with Drs. Crisp and
Litlhakanyne will lead a discussion of both the challenges in this
relationship and strategies to ensure that the interface is effectively and
confidently managed.

Strategies that will assist you when faced with a crisis
Unfortunately, in the life of a health manager it would be rare not have
faced at least one if not more “crisis” situations. In dealing with a crisis
for many the initial reaction is either to deny or to ignore its existence.
Professor Househam and Dr. Crisp will address the first step in dealing
with a crisis is to confirm that it is indeed a crisis. “Is it a crisis? … and if
so … “What is the crisis?” Once this has been established it is necessary to
devote one’s full attention to the matter despite other pressures and not
to deviate from the matter until the crisis has been resolved. Having
experienced crisis situations of varying nature, the course facilitators
will challenge the master class participants to solve various crisis
scenarios extracted from their personal management experience.
