Overview

Your textbook indicates that conflict is a natural, inevitable condition in organizations (Sullivan, 2017, p. 199). As a nursing leader, you will undoubtedly have many opportunities to develop your skills in conflict management.

Directions:

Compare and contrast the roles and actions of leadership and management in the handling of conflict. How do these two concepts relate to each other? How are they alike and how do they differ? How can conflict be beneficial and how can it be destructive? Discuss how nursing leaders can manage conflict in a nursing setting.

This is not a venue for your personal opinion. Support your assertions with evidence from recent, scholarly, peer-reviewed journals (preferably nursing journals). (“Recent” is less than five years old.) While your textbook is an excellent source of information it is not a journal. Follow this link for more information: What Is A Peer-Reviewed Article?

This assignment should be submitted in a Word document in APA format including title page, citations in text, and the reference page. Your paper should be 2 pages excluding the cover page and reference list. You may only submit one file and no late submissions will be accepted. Your submission will be evaluated using the rubric posted on Moodle.
