LEADERSHIP

 Leaders act to help a group attain objectives

through the maximum application of its

 Ideally, leaders do not stand behind a group to

push and prod; they place themselves before the
group as they facilitate progress and inspire the
group to accomplish organizational goals.

Leadership and
Management: major
functions and
differences
 Leadership involves working through individuals and
groups to accomplish goals, but these goals may be
different from organizational goals, or may involve one
segment of organizational goals. In a sense, the key
difference between the concepts of leadership and
management is the phrase "organizational goals".

 A manager works for an organization (for example a

director of Nursing employed by a hospital) and
carries the responsibility of accomplishing the
organization's goals through specific professional
services.
 Leadership is a much broader concept because all
nurses are leaders. Anytime a person is a recognized
authority and has followers who count on this person's
expertise to carry their objectives, the person is a
leader. Furthermore, anyone who is responsible for
giving assistance to others is also a leader. The staff
nurse is a leader to clients; the student nurse is also a
leader to clients; the head nurse is a leader to all team
followers; and parents are leaders to children.
 Nursing management uses administrative directives
and should use leadership skills to ensure the efficient
use of time, equipment, supplies, and staff to reach the
goals and objectives of the nursing department.
 A person may be a good manager and not exert
effective leadership. On the other hand, an
individual may be a leader but not an effective
manager or may not have the opportunity to
exercise managerial authority.
 A person in a managerial position has a certain
amount of power and authority requiring people to
follow directions, but the position does not
automatically convey leadership qualities that
influence people to follow because they want to,
not because they have to.
 The major functions of management are
planning, organizing, coordinating,
directing and controlling. Every nurse
will soon realize that a leader must
become skilful in using these same
functions and be willing to accept the
responsibilities of leadership
