Yoder-Wise (2015) compares and contrasts the role of leader versus manager and uses several theories to guide practitioners. Which theories are akin to your own?

A leader differs from a manager because the leader may not necessarily have the power to enforce rules or guidelines as a manager would have. They often coexist, however, each incorporate different skills and traits. If a manager carries out his duties effectively, he will also become a leader. In Table 1 of the article, “Leadership and management skills in health care,” a leader looks for long-term goals and a managers worries about his daily duties are completed in a timely manner. A leader allows others to plan the vision of the future and a managers sets limits enforces boundaries. Leadership also can be exhibited by any members of the team. They do have to be managers. Leaders have a vison, and ambition to achieve goals. They incorporate good communication skills and inspire others to follow. The best leader validates that the task is understood and offers resources to help them grow. Managers often feel threatened that leaders will overtake their control. Managers should relinquish their control and allow leaders to blossom. These are the leaders that can improve the standards of care and develop strategies to enhance conditions in institutions. (Ellis, P. & Abbott, J. 2017 ).
According to Yoder-Wise (2015), the nursing industry has changed with regards to leading, managing and following. In the past, nurses were to follow the commands of a physician or a charge nurse. Now, institutions follow a collaborative approach where all nurses on a team meet and devise care plans. Charge nurses need to respond to emergencies in intuitively. “As knowledge expands and the array of treatment interventions available to patients has grown, care delivery today is far beyond what a command-and-control top-down structure can accommodate (p.6).”
The most important desired attribute of a leader, follower or manager in Yoder-Wise (2015) is “demonstrate competence or be capable of rapid learning in the arena in which change is desired (p. 5).” With new treatments being launched as well as new technology systems (EMR/EHR), it is imperative that the nurse manager is constantly learning and growing. These leaders must not get frustrated with the change and regard them as positive changes. Everyone must work together to achieve the same goal and grow together (p. 19).
