Hello everyone
Good evening.
Leadership is not the same as Management.
The most important characteristics must be in the leader

Do you have a question for your assignment/"project"/"activity"?
NO WHAT IT IS?
I'm sorry I don't understand this statement. FYI in online etiquette typing in all caps is considered shouting /rude.
My dear
What is the mistake in my words
Why do you say that?
I don't understand what you are seeking an answer to based upon your initial statement and subsequent response.
If this is for the leadership and management class there are at least 5 current threads on the subject.
In regards to good leadership & management (as that is what appears to be what you are querying for responses) good leaders & nurses leave terms of endearment ( honey, sweetie, dear, cutie, etc) for those who are dear to them as a matter of mutual respect between the nurse and colleagues and patients.
Here is one of the threads mentioned:

Hi!
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.

Thanks my dear
There are as many traits of a leader as there ae lists of what makes a leader. Here are the fundamental traits of a leader from my perspective
1- Has integrity. People have to believe that you are pursuing your dream because it's the right thing to do, not just because you are ego driven.
2-Is a people person. Understands the differences that make people unique and is able to use those individual skills to achieve the goal.
3-Is positive. A leader encourages and rewards people and makes you want to do it and do it right. A leader is not a negative person and doesn't waste time and effort tellng everyone what they're doing wrong.
There are specific skills someone must master if they are want to be a leader.
Effective communication /
it's more than just being able to speak and write. A leader's communication must move people to work toward the goal the leader has chosen.
Motivation /
a leader has to be able to motivate everyone to contribute. Each of us has different "buttons". A leader knows how to push the right buttons on everyone to make them really want to do their best to achieve the leader's goal.
Planning /
the leader has a plan to achieve the goal. He/she doesn't get too bogged down in the details, that's what managers are for, but rather uses a high level plan to keep everyone moving together toward the goal.
That is very well done! I agree with you. Being a good leader will make you a good manager as well. I believe in leading by example and using each individuals strengths to develop a good team.
