CLINICAL LEADERSHIP AND MANGAEMENT IN NURSING2
Introduction
Leadership and management skills are one of the most important skills which is required
to maintain and manage a group of people working together in a company or anywhere else.
Even in the hospitals and in the nursing homes the nurses and the other health professionals are
required to possess the leadership and management skills in order to manage any conditions that
has arose because of any misconducts of any of the workers working in the hospital or among the
patients or in any conditions including the management authorities of the hospital (Bolden,
2016). In case of any conflicts the leadership and management skills are required to possess by a
person so that the conflict can be controlled (Ghasabeh, Soosay & Reaiche, 2015). This
assignment is going to discuss about such a conflict that has arose in the hospital and which is
very much affecting the effective care giving policies of the nurses and the health physicians and
the patient outcome is decreasing. The conflict has occurred regarding the recruitment of more
nurses in the hospital so that the patients can get more care but the management of the hospital is
not allowing to recruit more nurse at the present condition. I am working in the hospital as a
registered nurse and I am the lead and manager of the whole team of nurses who are asking for
the recruitment of new nurses. This paper will address in details about the effective leadership
skills followed by the team lead of the nurses so that the conflict come to an end.
Discussion
Events that have resulted in the conflicts of the situation
The patients in the hospital were not getting proper nursing care since long days. The family
members were complaining about this conditions but they did not have any scope except to
tolerate all these issues. After watching all these issues all the nurses found that it is also

becoming impossible for only such few nurses to take care of all the patients. Even incidences
have also occurred where patients were deprived of effective care giving (Frich et al., 2015). The
patients also complaining that that they are not getting medicines within proper time, the nurses
because of huge pressure of work were not communicating properly with the patients and also
with the family members. The reputation of the nurses were decreasing and obviously their job
profile were effected (Won, 2015). So it was very much required to recruit new nurses and that is
why all the nurses decided to ask for recruitment of new nurses in the hospital but the conflict
arose when the management authority was not willing to recruit more nurses in the hospital. The
management is creating issues that it was not possible to recruit more nurses in the hospital by
considering the economic status of the hospital. Apart from that they were forcing the present
nurses to take care of the patient, to carefully look at all the present conditions, the nurses were
told to do extra work in the hospital after their own work schedules and also they were not given
much extra amount for their over-time work. This is not a legal thing to work extra hours a day
in the hospital without getting extra money (Bird & Mendenhall, 2016). This is the main thing
for which conflict was created among the nurses and the management of the hospital. The nurses
denied to do the extra work without getting proper benefits.
Position in the workplace
In the hospital I am working as a registered nurse as well as I am the lead of the team of
the nurses who are conflicting with the management regarding the matter of the recruitment of
the nurses. I am working in this hospital since many years, most of the other nurses working with
me are new and the others are not as experienced as me in this profession. None of them have the
leadership and management skills required to lead and manage a group of revolting people. To
face the management authorities the nurses had to be bold and courageous so that the
