Leadership goes beyond management, for some, leadership is instinctual and pours over into your personal life.

An increase in patient acuities, readmissions, and requirement for patient satisfaction among other issues has created a greater need for more registered nurses in the hospital setting. Quality and safe patient care is a direct correlation to the number of staff. With the demand of nurses on the rise, some health care institutions have not readjusted the nurse-patient ratios and the result is decreased patient satisfaction, increased mortality/morbidity in patients, more health care associated infection, and decreased employee satisfaction; leading to burnout and decreased staff

Three strategies that the leader can do when a child becomes angry or very unhappy during learning experiences is one to problem solve whenever possible. Give children information that may help them with their feelings. The second strategy is acknowledge children’s emotions with a simple nonevaluative statement, like for example in the book Lullen cries because she didn’t get her favorite ribbon and the teacher can say “ You really wanted the pink ribbon”. The third strategy a leader could use is to ensure that materials are available so that even the last child has at least two or three items from which to select.

According to J. Seyfarth, there are four types of leadership styles: directive, supportive, participative, and achievement-oriented leadership (Seyfarth, 1996).

The five leadership practices included: spiritual, heartbeat, abilities, personality, and experience. The spiritual part of leadership begins with the author’s relationship with God first. God is first, because, Matthew 22:37-38 records, “And He said to Him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, this is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, you shall love you neighbor as yourself, indicating, the two greatest commandments involve God and others.” Therefore, God and others are linked together. The heartbeat of leadership describes the passion, which relates to the time, focus, and energy the author is purposing to put into leadership. The abilities of leadership implies the willingness, showing forth effort, determination, and tendenosity. Personality can be received as positive or negative, because it identifies self. Personality reveals the inner person. An example of this is the author‘s personality shows, joyfulness, hopefulness, love, or it can be anger, bitterness, and unwillingness to change. The experience of leadership is having to have lived a life beneficial for other to see and know.

Leadership is a concept most people feel informed enough to discuss, but that few are truly educated sufficiently to comment on. Therefore, it is instructive to consider the leadership styles of people with very different approaches both to better understand the diversity underlying leadership, as well as to appreciate the effective and less effective strategies that underlie different leadership outcomes. For that reason, this essay will consider the styles of two leaders who are less visible in this highly contentious presidential election season: Jill Stein (the Green Party nominee) and Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. The leadership styles of both are very different, yet they are aligned in the sense that both are outsider candidates struggling to gain momentum from a disaffected electorate. This essay begins with a theoretical discussion of leadership more generally and then turns to the two leaders as case studies, comparing and contrasting them and drawing conclusions about how they both work within the same public sphere and for putatively similar ends (i.e., gaining votes).
