Leaders or managers: In healthcare systems


      Today’s healthcare systems are varied in policies and procedures depending on who runs and funds that facility. Some facilities are educational or university healthcare organization, while others are private, and some are public and being funded by government. All those different types of healthcare systems are looking for many different aspects to compete with others. Educational healthcare systems for example are looking to have good learning outcomes in terms of healthcare providers. Private healthcare organizations are looking to provide good services in order to attract more patients and benefit from insurance system to grow and expand. Nowadays, we need leaders to face new challenges and rapid changes in the healthcare system. in this paper we will go over the differences between leaders and managers and then what makes leaders better in our recent time though both leaders and managers can cross at some points.
     As a point of view, leaders in healthcare system are needed due to some reasons, and as a staff in a healthcare organization, which is a university medical city. In this kind of facilities there is conflict happens mostly all the time due to many physician directors and non-physician directors. That conflict affect decision making which could affect the service provided to patients. In order to avoid that conflict, leaders are needed here because they can be flexible, and they have the coordination skills. These skills enable them to work among different staff clinical, and non- clinical and manage to achieve goals, and solve problems; also involving other staff in the decision making.
     The leader can influence and convince the team with difficult goals that are not impossible. With your faith in him that will make you implement his/her directions without discussion even if they are illogical. The manager always has his decisions subject to evaluation by his subordinates and this is not the one who should lead the scene.
     To compare leaders and managers, let’s focus on the competencies of both with brief explanation of each one and then look at the as strength and weakness points to come support the argument here.
     Interpersonal skills which are the soft skills that the leaders have. A leader will have a very good conversational skills, speaking skills, and he or she is a good listener, as a result this a strength point that makes the leader required in such field. Prudence or in another word wisdom is one of the competencies that a leader has where he or she will see others’ points of view. Courage to take risk and decide considering values and right the right thing of course.
     Managers on the other hand, focus on task only instead of the goals and visions of the organization. While leaders are taking risk and taking the organization to higher levels, managers tend to minimize risks without trying to take risks. Managers are oriented to instruct staff and telling them what to do, yet leaders are encouraging staff to be creative and to think out of the box.
      Leaders I believe are easy to deal with and they are always a good choice for me and for any employee who is looking for a motive during his/ he time in workplace. In the end, you need a leader who can make decisions even if they are painful, but those who implement must be managers who can implement these visions firmly, accurately and skillfully.
