This is a good start. The statement is rather broad. How will the manager lead the group? In what areas should a manager lead a group? What are some examples of leadership activities in which the manager should participate? Here is one example to help stimulate ideas:

You are a new manager. Upon accepting your position, you learned that your unit has high turn-over. As a leader, what changes would you implement to reduce turn-over? How do you suppose you will build trust with the staff?

i think yes , because as a manager you are going to lead a group , so there for she or he needs to be a leader.

thank you..

But is every manger a leader? From another post......

Welcome to AN! We are happy to help. What country are you from? You and your classmates must be in a leadership class right now. Allnurses hosts members from all over the world although it is based in the USA. What Beachy was saying is that when you type using all upper case letters...in the US that is considered "shouting" on the internet and is considered rude.

This web site has rules called the Terms of Service that members need to follow....called the Terms of Service. Look at them so you can better understand how to communicate better.

In the US students are not allowed to use the internet as a part of their research. It is considered cheating. Here at Allnurses we will help but you must tell us what you think first before we will help.

I believe what you are asking is....Leadership is not the same as Management. Just because you are management doesn't mean you are a leader. What are the most important characteristics/qualities that must be in a good leader?

What do you think would be good qualities for a good leader?

I think the difference between a manger and leader is simple. The manager’s job is to plan, organize and coordinate. The leader’s job is to inspire and motivate.

  • A manager administers; the leader innovates.
  • A manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
  • A manager maintains; the leader develops.
  • A manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.
  • A manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
  • A manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
  • A manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader’s eye is on the horizon.
  • A manager imitates; the leader originates.
  • A manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
  • A manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his or her own person.
  • A manager does things right; the leader does the right thing.

Yes, because there are people who work under you that are looking for that guidance and leadership in order to reach their full potential.

Does every manager actually lead? No, not necessarily. Not everyone has talent to be a leader and some are just leaders by the position they hold. People follow them because they have to. You know your a great leader when people follow you because they want to. You do that by having vision, authenticity, trust, likability and knowing what to do when the chips are down.
