When we talk about leadership, we can't help but wonder how it relates to nursing. If nursing is to focus on caring for patients, whether healthy or sick, then why is there a need to address leadership? Unlike before, today's healthcare environment is complex, fast-paced and constantly changing. This development poses an imminent danger to the nurse's skills, identity, and ability to coordinate with other health care professionals. On the other hand, it also challenges nurses to take the lead, develop goals, solidify a goal, and move toward an achievable vision. A nurse leader must then combine clinical, administrative, financial and operational skills to effectively resolve various clinical challenges. These challenges justify the need to address the need for leadership in nursing. Leadership is an activity of human engagement. It evokes the idea that someone is superior to another. Leadership can be seen as the practice of small actions that can engage or alienate, nourish or deplete those around us. Others often confuse a leader with the same title as a “manager.” The difference between the two terms is evident in the popular statement. A leader takes care of people while a manager takes care of paper. Leadership is also considered a unique function. This can be specially delegated or simply arise in a certain group. In the context of nursing, the leader is a visionary who devotes significant time and effort and looks outward to see how the unit, organization, or profession can move forward (Daly, et. al. , 2004).

For every nurse, it is essential to know how to become an effective leader because the field of healthcare is vast and vast. Everyone must have autonomy in decision-making, because a designated leader will not always be present. Autonomy is fostered when there is accountability. Studies show that rather than coercion and control, power and authority are greatly gained when the leader fosters trust among subordinates. This confidence is also gained through empowerment. One of the most important roles of nursing leadership is therefore empowerment. When there is empowerment, power, authority, trust and growth are gained by the leader. Subordinates, for their part, gain fulfillment and value at work. The end result will then be the success of the members, leaders and the organization as a whole..
