In health care, we often hear the words administration, management, or leadership used interchangeably. More often, there is reference to managers and leaders. Theorists and the literature articulate that there is a difference between a manager and a leader. Conduct your own examination of the literature or other sources to describe the difference between being a manager or being a leader. How are the two different and/or similar? Then, which of the two roles appeals most to you and why? Lastly, give an example of how a manager and a leader would approach the same operational challenge (you choose the challenge).
