2NURSING AND LEADERSHIP
Introduction:
Globally, healthcare services pose numerous dynamic and multifaceted obstacles in
delivering high-quality, secure and cost-effective treatment into the future. Having a pioneer in
healthcare careers is important across the treatment age spectrum. Leaders are tested on a regular
basis using logical thought for problems that need to be addressed. Leaders make crucial choices
that may have effects that could impact patient lives. Actually, health care leadership (Huber,
2017) is a foundational competence that helps healthcare professionals to successfully manage
the dynamic and ever-changing healthcare environment in addressing challenges and taking
actions relevant to topics varying from expense to quality healthcare facilities and access. It is
also important that the leaders are well prepared and qualified to take the right decisions at the
right time.
For the nursing career the idea of leadership is essential (Sfantou et al., 2017). There is no
dearth of literature which discusses nursing leadership. It is important that nurses cultivate an
efficient leadership position to provide high-quality treatment and thereby maintain patient
health while at the same time engaging in various positions of everyday management. The paper
below explores the depth of leadership strategies used by nursing members to improve health
care efficiency and effect on performance of patients. The paper addresses the forms of problems

with leadership assistance. The report shares its opinions on the level of coordination and
decision-making of clinical practice and its effect on the experiences of patients. Finally, the
essay reflects on and shines light on the impact of leadership models on success and work

coordination and decision-making of clinical practice and its effect on the experiences of

Discussion:
Leadership styles the nursing leaders have utilized to ensure the quality of patient
care and its impact on patient outcomes:
Health care practitioners' management and leadership is crucial to ensuring the
consistency and continuity of treatment. Leadership has also been characterized as the
connection between the leading individual those choosing to follow, while referring to the
behavior of directing and coordinating a team or group of people's activities towards a common
goal. There are several recognized leadership models, although six forms of leadership tend to be
more common: transformational, transactional, autocratic, laissez-faire, task-oriented, and
relationship-oriented.
The style of transformational leadership (Boamah et al., 2018) is defined by building
partnerships and inspiration amongst the workers. In health-care agencies, nurses perform
important functions. How their members treat them will have a dramatic impact on their success
and affect patient results. It is important to consider the multiple forms of leadership that are
sometimes seen in the workforce, as well as their influence on the workers and others in their
control. Successful nursing leadership is vital to promoting strategies for progress in the area of
enhancing health care quality, hiring and maintaining high performing workers and successfully
caring for health care needs. Good nurse practitioners ensure the necessary personnel and tools
are in order to maintain optimal level of treatment and results for patients. Nurse Managers at the

corporate level lead to the development of a plan through their participation in executive
decision-making and their willingness to affect how nursing is performed and viewed.
Transactional Leadership instructs a nurse supervisor of this sort by putting up a program
of incentives and penalties to seek to insure that the workforce complies with the laws. Those
individuals who obey his or her orders and attain the goals set will be awarded as appropriate. At
the other side, it would discipline those who refuse to comply and meet the targets with their
transgressions. This approach is squarely based on supervising employees, ensuring efficient
functioning of the company and enhancing community efficiency. There's a growing curiosity in
the research supporters are undertaking to find anomalies. This style of leadership is successful
in handling a crisis and in undertaking very comprehensive projects. Transformational leadership
lets the supporters recognize the actions of their chief, and become motivated to improve for the
better. They see all the good work flowing from the top and the care for their well-being. They
are far above standards because they placed more work into it than normal. People are no longer
placing themselves first because people bring more focus on what is right for the organization.
A variety of researches have investigated the connection between leadership in nursing
and patient outcomes. Throughout certain trials, for example, transition leadership was correlated
with decreased drug mistakes. It appears as though stuff inside the hospital are handled even
more cautiously by following this path. In half of the studies the design was also linked to lower
patient mortality. Somehow people receive proper attention and care, which helps them to endure
their ordeal. The collaborative models of leadership that involve the modes of change and
partnership have a shared impact on patient satisfaction.
