Leadership and Management Skills for Practical Nurses

Practical nurses need leadership and management skills to manage the care of their clients and supervise others.
Accountability is a crucial aspect of all professions, requiring individuals to take responsibility for their actions.
Practical nurses must work within the scope of their profession and have the necessary training and competence to be held accountable.
Leadership is the approach used to provide direction and motivate individuals to meet care standards and agency goals.
Different types of leadership include autocratic/authoritarian, democratic/participative, laissez-faire/delegative, situational, and transformational.
Autocratic leadership involves the leader telling employees what, when, and how to do things without considering their feelings.
Democratic leadership focuses on staff and employer, allowing for input and participation from group members.
Laissez-faire leadership involves leaving the group to make decisions with little guidance from the leader, suitable for highly skilled professionals.
Situational leadership is based on the task and can vary between autocratic, democratic, and delegative styles depending on the situation.
Transformational leadership focuses on inspiring others to share a vision and involves open communication and delegation of responsibilities.
Practical nurses need good communication skills, assertiveness, flexibility, critical thinking, and the ability to resolve conflicts.
Conflict can occur due to poor communication, opposing thoughts, perceptions, values, and actions between groups or individuals.
Conflict resolution strategies include problem-solving, negotiation, anger management, and open communication to de-escalate conflicts.
