AN ANALYSIS OF HOW MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP ROLES DIFFER IN TERMS OF SUPPORTING AN ORGANIZATION TO SET AND ACHIEVE GOALS.

Think of the managers you have reported to thus far in your career as a nurse. Now consider the people you have worked with or know of that you would consider leaders. Based on these experiences, what would you surmise about the responsibilities of managers and leaders and about the distinctions between these two categories in health care settings?

This week’s Learning Resources classify management and leadership (which are often confused in everyday discussion) and explain their significance for health care organizations. As you advance professionally, it is critical to understand the distinctions between management and leadership and how you can apply this knowledge for increasing effectiveness in your workplace.

To prepare:

• Review the information in the Learning Resources.
• Conduct additional research on your own and select at least two current, credible sources that contribute to your understanding of management and leadership.
• Reflect on how the roles of management and leadership differ in supporting the organization to set and achieve goals.
• Drawing upon specific examples from a current or previous practice setting, bring to mind someone who seemed to be a leader but not a manager and someone who seemed to be a manager but not a leader (generally speaking, or within a specific circumstance). Be prepared to support your assessment with specific behavioral descriptions found in the literature.

Post in APA Format a Minimum of 550 Words with Level 1 Headings as Followed:

1) In addition, post  descriptions of an individual who demonstrates leadership behaviors but not management behaviors

2) and an individual who demonstrates management behaviors but not leadership behaviors.

3) Provide your rationale, identifying specific characteristics of effective managers and leaders. (Note: Do not identify these individuals by name, position, or location.)
