Abstract
To assess leadership for optimal performance of the District Health Management Teams (DHMT) in Burkina Faso. A cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2014 to September 2015. The data collected were: socio-demographic and professional data, and domains (management, leadership, communication, decision-making, problem-solving) from the online Mind Tools resources, and planning. The factors of management were identified using the linear regression through the SPSS software 20. The 64 participants had a mean-age of 37.1 (35.8-38.5) years-old. The score by domain were the following: leadership score was 63.8 (62.6-65.1), score management = 73.6 (71.1-76.2), score communication = 55.5 (53.9-57.0), score of decision making = 64.1(62.2-66.1), score problem-solving = 63.9 (62.0-65.9), and score planning = 39.5 (37.7-41.3). By univariate analysis, the factors of the health district’s leadership were: decision making score (p<0.001) and management score (p= 0.003). By multivariate analysis, the factor of the health district’s leadership was the decision making score (p=0.023).For strong leadership, the decision-making must be at the heart of district health management for best performances.
