1. The Distinction Between Leadership and Management

and leaders and about the distinctions between these two
categories in health care settings?
This week’s Learning Resources classify management and
leadership (which are often confused in everyday discussion)
and explain their significance for health care organizations. As
you advance professionally, it is critical to understand the
distinctions between management and leadership and how you

·
Conduct additional research on your own and select at least two
current, credible sources that contribute to your understanding
of management and leadership.
·
Reflect on how the roles of management and leadership differ in
supporting the organization to set and achieve goals.
·
Drawing upon specific examples from a current or previous
practice setting, bring to mind someone who seemed to be a
leader but not a manager and someone who seemed to be a
manager but not a leader (generally speaking, or within a
specific circumstance). Be prepared to support your assessment
with specific behavioral descriptions found in the literature.
