Question

Leadership is a complex process that requires leaders to critically appraise the circumstances in which they find themselves to best determine how to lead and influence those around them. There are multiple tactics a leader can employ in any given circumstance to influence a situation or their followers. Compare two leaders you have dealt with in the past. What different tactics did these leaders employ to influence situations or people? Which tactics were successful? Which tactics were not successful? As a leader, how can you critically appraise situations to make sure you select appropriate tactics for influencing a given situation?

Answer 1

Leadership is an act of leading a group of people or organization to achieve a specific goal.Tactical leadership means the leader guides the team with their past experiences.Tactical thinking is a short term planning to tackle a situation and get a good result.

Let's compare the tactics handled by a Nurse in charge and Nusing Superintendent.

A nurse in- charge some times seems very arrogant to their team just to achieve the destination.

• They control the employee under them and get the task some
• They enable us to grow individual
• They help colleagues to find solutions easily with their experience
• Never give up their staff to anybody
• Offer action oriented feedback.
• They always be optimistic because they form a role model

A Nursing Superintendent has their own tacktic to make their nurse work

• They empower the entire nursing team
• They order than commiting
• Preparing and arranging the approved needs requested by their team
• They are task oriented

Selection of appropriate tactics to handle situation depends entirely on the skills.For example if a patient screams at a ward nurse for no reason ,a leader can control the situation by explaining the patient and instructing and order the nurse to do the needful.immediately to avoid further problem.
