Healthcare Role Dynamics
Explain, with concrete examples, the differences among leadership, management, and followership. Then, discuss the following:
· At times, do the examples overlap with a nurse acting in all three capacities at the same time?
· Are two of the three capacities more likely to overlap? If yes, which two capacities?
Leadership:
- Definition: Leadership involves influencing and guiding others towards achieving a common goal. It often entails setting a vision, inspiring others, and fostering innovation and change.
- Example: A nurse leading a multidisciplinary team in developing new protocols for patient care to improve outcomes. The nurse motivates the team, sets goals, and provides direction towards implementing the changes.
Management:
- Definition: Management focuses on coordinating and organizing resources (such as people, finances, and materials) to achieve specific objectives efficiently and effectively.
- Example: A nurse manager overseeing daily operations on a hospital unit, ensuring staff schedules are covered, budgets are managed, and patient care protocols are followed.
Followership:
- Definition: Followership involves actively participating in supporting and implementing the goals and directives set by leaders or managers. It includes being a team player, contributing ideas, and executing tasks…
