Empowerment of leaders and the managers
Compare and Contrast
The context of the leadership is one of the several facets that are included in
management. There lies several factors involved in the comparison and the contrast of the
roles of the leaders that of the functions of the management. The leaders generally tend to
create a vision while the management creates the goals. Both the managing and leading are
the two different ways for initiating organization of the people. Leadership is the setting of
the new and the innovative direction or the vision for the group. Leaders are the spared for
the new pathway (White, Dudley-Brown & Terhaar, 2016). Management on the other hand
controls or directs the resources or the people as per the values or the principles that have
already been established. The managers generally use rational or formal methods while the
leaders uses their passion to stir emotions. The paper describes the scenario of the health care
management and the role of nurse.
One Leadership Style
This paper will highlight on the specific style of the leadership that the nurse uses for
management of the workforce. This style of the leadership is the transformational leadership.
Transformational leadership is basically the style in which the behaviour of the leader’s
inspire and transforms the followers for performing beyond their expectations and
transcending of the self-interest for the benefit of the organization. The transformational
leadership by the nurse can be used for the management of the workplace reflecting the
current health priority of development of realistic solutions for the improvement of the
quality care towards the patients (Echevarria, Patterson & Krouse, 2016). The
transformational leadership style compels the clinical nurses to teach the employees to

become leaders at the workplace by their effective participation for developing solution. This
leadership style furthermore enhances the clinical nurses to encourage employees to get
invested in the care outcomes (Gopee & Galloway, 2017). In case of the practise of the
clinical nursing, the application of the transformational leadership helps the nurses to employ
effective communication and the techniques of the interpersonal relationship for motivating
ad inspiring the team.
Empower Leaders and Managers
It is essential for a leader to be strategic from the objective setting and the planning
perspective. Some of the strategies that the organization can use for the empowerment of the
leaders and the managers for becoming a transformational leader are as follows.
 The organization can encourage the employees to create or develop an inspiring
vision for the future (Tyczkowski et al., 2015)
 The health care organization can motivate the individuals to manage and deliver their
vision to the fellow employees of the organization
 The leaders and the managers of the organization should build ever stronger and trust
based relationship with the people around
In case of the profile of a nurse, the above strategies will furthermore help her to
become a transformational leader at the workplace. The organization can encourage the
nurses for advancing of the effort to become more invested in the care outcomes. This
will help the nurse towards better engagement with the other employees for participating
in the procedure of the improvement of care.
