Study Notes
Classical Views of Leadership and Management
- The need for nursing leadership skills is critical today.
- Contemporary factors drive this need.
- Leadership is the art of getting work done willingly through others.
- Leaders are proactive, take risks, and challenge the status quo.
- A job title doesn't make a leader; behavior does.
Good Leaders and Managers
- Good leaders empower and influence.
- They envision the future, communicate visions, motivate followers, and inspire confidence.
- They also inspire others to accomplish goals, take risks, and master change.
- Good managers coordinate resources, optimize use, and follow rules.
- They plan, organize, control, and direct to achieve organizational goals.
- They use rewards and punishments effectively.
Ten Fatal Leadership Flaws
- Lack of energy and enthusiasm
- Acceptance of mediocre performance
- Lack of clear vision and direction
- Poor judgment
- Failure to collaborate
- Not walking the talk
- Resistance to new ideas
- Failure to learn from mistakes
- Lack of interpersonal skills
- Failure to develop others
Henri Fayol (1925) Management Functions
- Planning: determining philosophy, goals, objectives, policies, procedures, rules, long-range and short-range plans, and managing planned change (fiscal course of action).
- Organizing: establishing structure, determining patient care delivery type, grouping activities, working within organizational structures, understanding and using power and authority appropriately.
- Staffing: recruiting, interviewing, hiring, orienting staff, scheduling, staff development, employee socialization, and team building.
- Directing: motivating, managing conflict, delegating, communicating, and facilitating collaboration.
- Controlling: performance appraisals.
Scientific Management (1900-1930)
- Frederick Taylor (father of scientific management) believed productivity increased through teaching workers the "one best way" to accomplish a task.
- Time and Motion Studies were a key aspect of this approach, analyzing and standardizing work processes.
- Scientific personnel systems were crucial, hiring, training, and promoting based on technical competence and abilities.
- Workers should understand their organizational role and contribution to overall productivity.
The Human Relations Era (1930-1970)
- Organizations recognized worker satisfaction's impact on production.
- Participatory and humanistic management gained importance, emphasizing people over machines.
- Mary Follett emphasized management authority alongside, rather than over, employees.
Theory X and Theory Y – Douglas McGregor
- McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y linked managerial attitudes to employee satisfaction.
- Theory X managers view employees as lazy, requiring constant supervision, and indifferent to organizational needs.
- Theory Y managers view employees as self-motivated, enjoying their work, and wanting to meet personal and organizational goals.
The Hawthorne Studies – Elton Mayo
- Productivity increased when management paid special attention to workers, regardless of environmental conditions. This demonstrated the impact of social factors on productivity.
The Evolution of Leadership Theory
- Great Man theory/trait theories examined characteristics of great leaders.
- Behavioral theories looked at leader behaviors and traits.
- Situational, contingency, interactional, and transactional theories furthered the understanding of leadership styles. This encompassed adapting to different situations, influences, and communication.
Full-Range Leadership Model (Bass and Avolio 1993)
- Leaders can adopt transformational, transactional, or laissez-faire leadership styles. These leadership styles are adaptable and can be used simultaneously.
Kouzes and Posner's Five Practices for Exemplary Leadership
-
These five practices emphasize modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart to foster a culture for excellent leadership.
-
Evidence shows that leadership styles must adapt depending on the task, team needs, and building productive relationships. This involves adapting to current situations and maintaining productive relationships.
