POST 1

To compare and contrast the actions associated with leading, managing, and following, here is my view.

With leading, it becomes successful if the leader is able to provide their followers clearly with communication of the vision and performance expectations of them. The said leader must also be able to think on their feet in the moment to be able to handle critical or urgent obstacles in their work situation. The leaders must be quick to choose in situations of competing interests, as well a keeping their followers engaged on how they will be able to prioritize the work given to them. As for followers, it is vital that they provide strength and support to their leaders. Their job in the organization is to be able to work to their full potential, following the organizational standards. Said followers must be keen to attention to detail. The duties of the leader, manager, and follower are not set to a particular position. In the area of nursing, we have the chance to shift our roles from different types of positions, as well as different environments of work.

POST 2

Hello class,

Leadership and management require interpersonal skills that are used to deliver care effectively. Management involves planning, organizing, directing, and coordinating an organization (Holman et al., 2019). An example of leadership in the hospital setting would be case managers and administration. Case managers help the patients with insurance, social services, and management of discharge. Hospital administration organizes the healthcare staff such as doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, lawyers, and receptionists. By managing all these different employees, the hospital administration can maintain the organization; without direction, the patient would directly lack resources or treatment. Leadership is the ability to inspire others to achieve the desired outcome (Holman et al., 2019). An example of an individual in the hospital that displays leadership would be the charge nurse. The charge nurse helps to staff the nurses on the floor and assign the patients to the nurses. If the nurses on the floor have an issue, they seek the charge nurse for leadership and conflict resolution. Without management and leadership, there would be a common goal for the healthcare team to achieve. It could also cause a lack of delegation and disorganization, which would directly impact the patients. I think that nursing is highly flexible and allows different career opportunities. New grads can work bedside for two years and then move to charge nurse or even look into case management, nurse legal assistant, or outpatient services. As a nurse, leadership is always needed because we need to advocate for our patient's best outcome. This could mean managing their diet and demonstrating leadership by contacting the dietician to change the meals for the patients.
