Nursing Leadership and Management Styles Analysis

The question of leadership is one of the most urgent issues in current nursing care as there is a burning need for effective leaders to organize properly the professional and personal lives of society (Murray, 2004). In this paper, the article by Eric Harris and Kristen Maceli (2010) about health care management and change in leadership will be evaluated in order to comprehend better how to maintain strong nursing morale, direct nurses properly, and achieve professional goals with a minimum of losses and expenses. In this article, the authors focus on the idea of good communication between a leader and the nursing staff and define this principle as one of the most effective approaches to organizational change. The idea of communication seems to be rather important relying on personal experience and nursing practice. To provide patients with appropriate care and treatment, it is very important to develop professional leadership and promote definite communications to understand what has to be made, what decisions are more important, and what skills have to be considered.
