Feedback:
A nurse who is promoted to the position of manager should coordinate all the activities of the staff members. It is not only the manager who acts as a decision maker, the leader also acts as a decision maker, but also a team leader can approach the manager if he or she is not able to make a decision. A manager and a team leader use role models to influence the staff members in accomplishing their task. Both a manager and a team leader plan and organize work for staff members.
