Introduction 1.0 Introduction In this assignment the authors will apply management theory to a real world situation. A definition of an effective leader will be offered. The authors will then identify two Clinical Nurse Managers (CNM) they have worked with in clinical settings, addressing individually the qualities and behaviours of each person. For the purposes of this assignment the authors have selected CNMs who have similar roles within their respective nursing units. In order to preserve confidentiality pseudonyms will be used and each nursing unit referred to as A and B.
The second new measures is external controls, which occurs through personal supervision and the use of formal administrative systems, such as performance appraisal systems (Bruce enjoyed working with new team and was asked for detailed sales, margins and production details) 2. Bruce should introduce new control measures after he and his team members are familiar with the new working environment and new organization measurement system should match with the way of they used to operate, in this case, the article said that Frederick and Bruce usually saw eye to eye on what needed to be done, that is a way they used to monitor their working performance. However, it significantly changed.

The necessity for nurses to be able to communicate effectively is vital for the continued care of patients. More specifically, it is crucial that Nurses are able the change their language patterns and vocabulary, depending on the person they are talking to. The communications a nurse has with their patient is completely different to how a nurse would speak to a fellow Medical Officers (MO). There must be a strong, clear wording, instruction and diagnosis when talking to colleagues; otherwise there may be confusion as to the treatment of a patient.

The future of nursing study was done in the same manner as the other studies and some groups in the society who influenced the studies made their reports according to how they valued nursing work. The report showed similarities with the last major study on nursing that was done by IOM in 1983 that nurses need to be well educated and remove barriers to nursing practices.
