Leadership can be defined as a multifaceted process of identifying a goal or target, motivating other people to act, and providing support and motivation to achieve mutually negotiated goals. Often the definitions of the words leader and manager are not rare confused. Traditional managers have assigned roles and titles within an organization, as they carry out specific functions, duties and responsibilities. Leaders do not necessarily have any delegated authority. They function within a variety of formal and informal roles. An individual can be a great leader but not a manager. Conversely, an individual can be a manager but not possess many leadership skills. Thus the nursing leadership does not rest merely with administrators and high-level managers, but also can be developed and implemented at the bedside
