Lesson 2: Successful Leadership and Management Assignment

Think about how theories of leadership and management impact nursing leadership and management roles. Record your thoughts on your "Blog"

Theories of leadership and management definitely impact nursing leadership and management roles. Even though healthcare can be very specialized, it is still a business. Businesses need leaders. These leaders whether they realize it or not, are impacted directly by theories. One theory of leadership is that leaders are not born, but made. Many nursing leaders were not planning on being in management positions. But through a series of events find themselves in a leadership role. They learn from others, and from their own experience to shape their own leadership style. Different types of leadership theories are out there. Some are autocratic, others democratic, and some laissez faire. Depending on the situation and leader, all types can be used. Theories on leadership will continue to develop and continue to affect leadership and management in nursing.
