Being a leader

Leadership has been studied for many years

thus the multiple leadership theories that have

arisen and changed over the years. The trait

approach suggested there are internal traits,

motives, personality characteristics, skills and

values that are critical to the emergence of

leaders. The situational approach to leadership describes a

leader whom a particular situation or context

will likely infuence effective leadership tendencies.

Most recently the transformational theory has

been widely studied as an effective form of

leadership. Leadership involves the use of interpersonal

skills to infiuence others to accomplish a

specific goal. Strong effective leadership is essential to

guarantee patient safety, and for creating and

maintaining high quality maternity services.

Clinical leaders motivate individuals, act as

agents for change, and promote positive

nursing outcomes for employees and patients

alike. Clinical leadership can help improve

efficiency and reduce costs within the

services by streamlining clinical decision

making and using best practice approaches

whilst maintaining high quality care standards.

Intentional application of knowledge and skills

by a leader to bring about change is seen as

planned change. It is well thought out and

deliberate and often arises from the

recognition of the need for new ways of

decision-making, practice and policies. Some

team members will embrace change while

others may resist. Strong

leaders should be educated in change

theories and, be able and willing to, apply

these theories appropriately to accomplish

change. Experts believe its how change is led which makes the

difference in the organisations ability to

negotiate change. A change theory or framework is an

important instrument for introducing a viable

change within an organisation. Nowadays the lack of a personnel in charge of

coordinating, planning and promoting

activities that have are related to the

information security generates a situation that

is reflected in the growth of security problems

that arise within organizations, such as

intrusions, theft of information, virus

problems, among others, better known as

incidents, This joined with the ignoranceof

knowing what are the necessary and sufficient

skills in knowledge, training and skills, as well

as the responsibilities and duties of the figure

in charge of security in the institution they make it difficult to be able to select the right person who is in charge of seeing what refers

to computer security within the institutions.

Management styles have a great impact on

the performance of an organization. The first

impact is the profitability of the organization.

If decisions are well made, and proper

planning is done by the managers, then high

profits are assured. Because the management

team takes the lead role in any organization

good leadership results in increased

productivity. The second impact is the quality

of products produced and services offered.

Where the management is using the best style

to lead its team, good quality products are

produced and better services offered since

subordinates are equally treated and

motivated to work. Another impact is the

growth and expansion of the organization. A leader is one or more

people who select, equips, trains, and

influences one or more followers who have

diverse gifts, abilities, and skills and focuses

the followers to the organizations mission

and objectives causing the followers to

willingly and enthusiastically expend spiritual,

emotional, and physical energy in a concerted

coordinated effort to achieve the

organizational mission and objectives. One's leadership style is remarkably significant

when identifying whether or not they are

fulfilling their role in an organization. These

styles contrast between leaders and influence

follower readiness as well. The case of the

Carolina Clinic will be discussed, highlighting

the importance of leadership style and how

these various forms impact the organization

as a whole.

Global leaders are faced with an ever

changing and complex environment and need

to continually adapt to the people and

contexts in which they are operating and

interacting. As it is

difficult to determine one definition of

leadership it is equaly difficult to decide on

one definition of global leadership,

however, global leadership as a

process of influencing the thinking, attitudes,

and behaviors of a global community to work

together synergistically toward a shared vision

and common goals. Leadership is one of the critical elements in

every organizational setup. The kind of a

leadership in the organization determines its

performance. There are various management

practices which relate to the leadership styles.

Managers are responsible for making

decisions concerning the organizational

operations. In making these decisions, the

members of management team are required

to comply with the requirements of the

stakeholders who include customers,

employees, suppliers, lenders, the government

and community. However, individual employee

differences have a great impact on the

managerial practices, given that they are part

of the internal stakeholders. Situational leadership relies on flexibility of

approach to particular issues that may rise

during a leaders' time in the healthcare

profession. This theory is not just about

solving the problem, but also realizing the

complexity of the situation at hand. The leader

that utilizes situational leadership needs to

understand that there may be more than one

effective way to handle matters. Furthermore,

situational leadership also focuses on the

assessment of individuals involved, factors

contributing to the issue, and the most

effective resolution. This

assessment is paramount to the success of

this theory because the leaders' perceptions

of the individuals involved will affect their

decision-making process.

To conclude, Strong effective leadership is essential to

guarantee patient safety, and for creating and

maintaining high quality maternity services.

Clinical leaders motivate individuals, act as

agents for change, and promote positive

nursing outcomes for employees and patients

alike. Clinical leadership can help improve

efficiency and reduce costs within the

services by streamlining clinical decision

making and using best practice approaches

whilst maintaining high quality care standards. Leadership theories

provide important foundations for practical

leadership within organisations and can help drive change in

the workplace. The processes and standards of problem-

solving among the team work together with

communication in various ways. The first

process that may help in problem-solving in

line with communication among the groups

include identifying the problem and describing

it in ways that present sense to the units of

how to find a solution and implement it. Nowadays, there are multiple risks associated

with the lack of data security controls in

equipment and information systems and

communications. Threats in lInformation and

Communication Technologies are extent in

many critical levels depending on the

orientation and scope of their use. The

increase of industrial espionage, information

thieves, interruption of services and critical

failures in the infrastructure and central

information systems is a great concern for

large, medium and small organizations.

Information systems are subject to many

different threats that can have it origin within

the organization itself or most of the time

from an external source.

While globalization has many positive aspects

to it, including bringing people together and

making goods and services more accessible,

there are numerous challenges to both the

globalization concept and definition of what it

means for leadership in general. Global managers must be able

to lead and influence others to accomplish

organizational objectives, actualize the

company's strategy, coordinate resources in

global operations, and maintain their

competitive edge across national borders thus

the importance of understanding global

leadership in the twenty-first century.
