Leadership management
Leadership is the skill of person where individual takes responsibility of team members

all employees manage their work properly and leaders give them guidance.
Team working is very important in nursing practice, as it helps the nurses in knowing their
duties and treating patients well. Team working is beneficial in sharing ideas and finding
potential solution of each issue. By this way workload in hospital can be managed and patients
can get amazing care experiences.
Organisation culture
Culture can be defined as belief of company, culture affects the employee and
organisational performance to great extent. If leaders are able to lead team well then it will help
in creating healthy workplace culture (Teamwork and the patient care experience, 2017).

Leaders always try to build strong connection between with other members so that patients
details can be circulated properly and other nurse can provide treatment accordingly. Routinely
collaboration and healthy culture encourage them and retain in hospitals by this way they serve
care users well (Organisation culture and leadership, 2018).
Leadership in health care
Health care sector works to deliver safe and effective care services to patients (The
Concept of Leadership in the Health Care Sector, 2020). Leadership is helpful in making
necessary changes in health system so that patients’ issue can be resolved quickly by medical
professionals and health care condition of person can be improved. Leaders work to manage
clinical workforce and give them training so that they understand needs of patients and ensure to
provide proper treatment to them (Leadership, Management and Team Working in Nursing,
2018).
Gender issues in leadership
Leadership is highly affected by gender differences, many companies do not promote female
candidates at leadership positon they think that women are unable to manage work because they
have to manage their home as well hence they can not pay close attention on their work. Male
leaders get more pay as compare to female that is the big issue in leadership.
