The well-being of humanity stands on rules, laws, and policies. Without organizational procedures, the world would turn into the chaotic place already tomorrow. The concept of the leadership exists to put communities together and lead them to the common purpose. At the same time, the management is about assisting leadership with institutional tasks which are required to be completed for a smoother stream of operations. Healthcare sector demands leadership and management to be present at all times as medical institutions are responsible for lives of millions of patients every day. One may say that both concepts mean the same, still, terms define a completely different field of work and can be effective or ineffective depending on particular …show more content…
Thus, there are transformational, collaborative, conflict, shared, distributed, ethical, and Functional Results Oriented Healthcare Leaderships within healthcare systems (Al-Sawai, 2013). All styles are essential for the operational activities of the management and must be applied equally. However, leaders are people, and every individual is different and sometimes may not be able of handling all types of leadership, even though, being good in one of them. For instance, a consultant is very motivating and transformational. He or she can create a common goal and lead the team to it at any price. But the same consultant cannot manage the mere quarrel between two colleagues and not capable of solving conflicting cases with patients. In the light of this comparison, I believe that I would fit the best in the collaborative style of management. There are a lot of administrators in hospitals and clinics to handle all the duties of every department, and I would like to be one of them. Nevertheless, as any leadership style, collaborative one has its advantages and disadvantages in frames of the labor environment. This type of management is beneficial for motivating and encouraging practitioners and nurses for working together as a team toward the implementation of effective processes and improvement of provided services (Al-Sawai, 2013). I will need to prove my mentees that collective performance is more fruitful then individual one. On the other hand, collaborative leadership has its downside. Individual work is less appreciated due to oppressive methods of the style toward the concept that people are
Leadership has many definitions. Chin, Desormeaux, and Sawyer (2016) define leadership as a relationship between followers and a leader with the intent to promote change through a mutual vision. Therefore, leaders are active influences in the outcome of organizations, through their decision-making, strategies, and influence on followers (Dinh et al., 2014). Additionally, in the nursing context, it has been documented that a leader 's style plays a factor in patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016). Indeed, in an ever-changing, complex health care environment, nursing leadership has become a crucial factor in managing challenges and maintaining patient safety (Fischer, 2016).
This essay is going to reflect on my own management and leadership style in delivering patient care. It will discuss the effectiveness of the other leadership and management style within the multi-disciplinary team and its impact on delivering patient care. I will use as an example, my previous experience back home as a nurse and compare it to my current experience in the United Kingdom (UK). This will show my strength and weakness as well as my new learning skills, which have changed my practice. I will be using Driscoll model of reflection (2007) to guide my thought and refine my ideas.
with issues associated with running a business, and it greatly lacks the required management competencies needed to effectively lead and restructure the current healthcare model. Because healthcare leadership must now model itself like a business, it forces you to identify leadership competency gaps and confront the leadership shift from healthcare-specific leaders to business leaders. IDENTIFYING HEALTHCARE LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES Per the Center for Creating Leadership, clinical teams are proficient in adaptability, meeting objectives, and resourcefulness. They are straight-shooters, quick learners, and skilled at managing a diverse team.
Al-Sawai’s article points out that healthcare organizations employ numerous specialists in completely unrelated disciplines, and these labyrinth-like specialist pools each have their own interests. [2] Unsurprisingly, these departments may not always find consensus. Effective administrators view conflicts as a growth opportunity. When this happens, it is the healthcare administrator’s duty to resolve these matters and lead the parties towards a common objective. Knowing the right leadership style can determine whether the administrator succeeds or
Purpose The purpose of the study is to identify the impact of training interactions on the transformational leadership traits of healthcare operations leaders.

Transformational Leadership in Nursing Introduction Transformational Leadership is the moral ability of a person to make sound judgment and wise decision to influence and inspire others to perform the best outcome even in the critical situation. It is the ability to guide others not just in words, but also by example. Nurses are able to cultivate trust and harmony and establish good relationship with their patients and co-workers through effective and constant communication and intervention. They respond to the basic needs and expectation (Rousel, 2011), they set aside their personal interest for the benefit of their patients and the organization.
The world’s economy is not stable and few companies survive, are successful and profitable through strong leadership and management. These notions are considered to be the same by many people but they differ significantly. Leadership is a procedure in which a person influences people in organization to a goal using the appropriate style of leadership (Ricketts and Ricketts, 2010, p.5). The leader has a vision, communicates it to employees and inspires them. Management is defined as the achievement of goals in an effective way through planning, organizing, leading and controlling organizational resources (Daft, 2008, p.7).

Introduction: Any organization recognizes the significance of leadership and its crucial role in achieving their goals and success. In healthcare organizations, the complexity of the system and the difference in defining its success goals are reshaping the practice of leadership and its standards. According to House et al. (2002, p.5) a leader is able to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute to the success of the organization or task. Healthcare and business settings are different in terms of goals and system contexts.
Introduction Leadership is a relationship between leader and followers and is the process that a potential person leading a group of people and try to influence their behavior and thinking to achieve the common goal in certain situation (Northouse, 2007, P.5-6). “Leadership is an interaction between two or more members of a group that often involves a structuring or restructuring of the situation and the perceptions and expectations of members. Leadership occurs when one group member modifies the motivation or competencies of others in the group. Any member of the group can exhibit some amount of leadership” (Bass, 1990: 19-20).

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP It is important to appreciate that leadership roles are different from management functions. In Stephen Covey’s (1999) book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, he quoted Peter Drucker as saying: ‘Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things. Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership is about determining whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.’ This suggests that management is about tasks, whereas leadership is about perception, judgement, skill and philosophy.

According to Simkins (2005), leadership is one of the key factors and in some instances the only factor that determines whether an organization succeeds or fails. However, Clark (2009) states that an effective nurse leader utilizes appropriate leadership theories to guide their actions as well as they are required to apply their knowledge and problem solving skills to develop creative solutions to managerial issues on the ward. On the other hand management is concerned with its five core principles; according to Kannan (2004b) these principles were revised and are now thought as planning, organising, staffing, directing and controlling (as cited in Clark, 2009). Furthermore, Clark pointed out that leadership and management often overlap. Therefore,
