Abstract: Background This article is the first in a three-part series on nursing leadership. It begins by providing new, existing, and future nurse leaders and managers a clear understanding of the commonalities that exist and differences between their roles within healthcare.

As nurse leaders and managers enhance their understanding of leadership and effectively apply various leadership styles to practice, positive impacts can ensue within healthcare.
