A manager is an individual in charge of supervising the running of an organization, a business, or divisions and parts. Management, therefore, is the administration position in an institution that deals with controlling people and things (Argyris, 2017). A leader is a person who works towards fulfilling their vision through rallying people. Leadership involves motivating individuals to fulfill set goals (Wang et al., 2019). The terms management and leadership do not have the same meaning. Management relies on a counting value of work while leadership aims at creating value in work. Management relies on creating a circle of power among subordinates for power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both leadership and management have essential roles in the running of any institution. While management helps implement the practices and policies of the institution, leadership helps create devotion, accountability, and commitment. Management requires leadership and vise versa. Management and leadership are crucial to providing appropriate services in a health center. On the other hand, leadership works on gaining a following to attain influence (Bojadziev et al., 2016).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are several roles that a nurse can accomplish and improve their management and leadership functions in a health unit. Some of these management roles include improving service delivery through analyzing important data, delegating tasks to other staff and providing guidance to achieve good results, and communicating important information about achievement plans to staff through meetings and other methods of communication (Chapman & Blash, 2016). Other roles include managing the finances to achieve desired results for the patients, staff, and the services given, mentoring staff, and solving conflicts in the unit. Nurse leadership skills and roles can be improved by volunteering for committees for experience and pursuing additional training and education (Gordon & Gordon, 2017). Nurse leaders should also seek other nurse mentors and instill confidence and trust in the team by keeping their emotions in check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
