Effective management leadership in nursing is not a career that is suitable for everyone or for every nurse. Leadership positions not only require additional sacrifices on your behalf but it also requires someone who is a critical thinker, in other words, somebody who can work effectively under pressure and who is able to resolve problems within the workplace quickly and efficiently and without conflict. Nurses who assume leadership and management roles also need to be creative thinkers. Not only is their work demanding of them, but they too have to oversee that everyone else is fulfilling their duties and that patient care is of the best. Within a position of leadership, one should be a role model and a positive influence on the nurses within the hospital as well as on the image of the hospital as a whole. Therefore, effective management leadership in nursing does not mean just barely surviving the job, it actually means taking it full force and making it flourish!
A nurse leader may be a nurse manager, responsible for one nursing unit, or a nurse executive, responsible for all in-patient nursing units. Rather than choosing just one leadership style, an outstanding nurse leader typically uses multiple styles depending on the situations she's facing.
