When it comes to leadership, you can't help but wonder how it relates to nursing. If the focus of nursing should be caring for patients who are well or ill, then why do we need to address the issue of leadership? Unlike before, today's healthcare environment is complex, fast-paced and ever-changing. This development poses imminent danger to the nurse's skills, identity, and ability to coordinate with other healthcare professionals. On the other hand, this also pushes nurses to challenge themselves to take initiative, develop goals, consolidate a purpose and move towards an achievable vision. A nurse leader must therefore combine clinical, administrative, financial and operational skills to effectively solve various clinical challenges. These challenges are the rationale behind addressing the need for leadership in nursing. Leadership is a human involvement activity. It connotes the idea that someone is superior to another. Leadership can be seen as the practice of small actions that can engage or alienate, nourish or impoverish those around us. Others often confuse a leader with the same title as “manager.” The difference between the two terms is evident in the popular declaration. A leader deals with people while a manager deals with paper. Leadership is also considered a unique function. It can be particularly delegated or it can simply arise in a certain group. In the nursing context, the leader is a visionary with a focus of time and effort who looks at how the unit, organization, or profession can move forward (Daly, et. al., 2004). Leadership is also considered a natural element in nursing practice because most nurses work in teams or units. When an individual receives the license of a...... paper medium......ial is education. Through training, nurses will understand their role in the success of the organization. Critical to every nurse is the need to know how to become an effective leader as the field of healthcare is vast and vast. Everyone must have autonomy in making decisions as there will not always be an appointed leader present. Autonomy is favored when there is empowerment. Studies show that, rather than coercion and control, power and authority are achieved when the leader promotes trust among subordinates. This confidence is also achieved through empowerment. Therefore, one of the most important roles of nursing leadership is empowerment. When there is empowerment, the leader gains power, authority, confidence and growth. Subordinates, on the other hand, gain satisfaction and value from work. The end result will then be the success of members, leaders and the organization as a whole.
