Question

Describe the difference in roles between leadership and management. Explain how the goals of management and leadership overlap and provide one example. As a nurse leader, describe how you can facilitate change by taking advantage of this overlap.

Answer 1

Ans) The main difference between leaders and managers is that leaders have people follow them while managers have people who work for them. A successful business owner needs to be both a strong leader and manager to get their team on board to follow them towards their vision of success.

- Leadership and management are often used in similar perspectives, yet they do not share the same meaning. Leaders are exactly what the name says - they lead team members to success. Managers, like leaders, have the meaning referenced in the name.

- The tension between management and leadership can be hard to cut through at times, but in a healthy organization, the roles and duties of leaders tend to mesh well with the roles and duties of managers. Both leaders and managers have functions that sometimes overlap, but through solid communication and a well-accepted strategic vision, these two roles work seamlessly in a high-performing organization.

- The one very important thing they both overlap is the timely, effective quality patient care.

- Example: In Hospital, there are various post but to give & example is the function of Administrator & the manager who very well know their responsibilities & at time comes the overlapping of responsibilities which in turn is the change We can make & advantage of the overlap in delivering quality patient care.
