This is an important co-ordination and cohesion of all management functions: planning, organizing, managing and controlling. Leadership is linked to the relationships and willingness of others to follow leaders. The existence of effective leaders who will successfully take nursing practice and care through today's turbulent period of full-scale changes are of crucial importance for further perspectives of health care and health at all. Nurses as carriers of the health care process should, in addition to clinical knowledge, possess both managerial skills and know how to manage human and material resources within the health system. The leader must know the phenomenon of motivation, its role, significance and consequences, the factors motivated by its followers, and those that lead to demotivation. Leadership and motivation are the answer to the challenges of modern business. Leadership is a driving force that encourages change. The power of leadership comes from the vision of the leader, his driving energy that drives the overcoming of obstacles. Being a good leader means knowing yourself, your personal strength and borders, but also recognizing the needs of others. Leadership in nursing is a set of critical thinking, action and advocacy with an immediate impact on the nursing community. Nurses are in a good position to be leaders, but have additional knowledge and skills in team management and effective communication, and more power and greater involvement in decision-making.
