, PREFACE
The rapid change in technology, knowledge explosion
and the increased and complex health care demands
challenge the nurse's knowledge, technical competence,
interpersonal skills and commitment. Nurses work at
each level of the health care system, have varied role,
and are constantly in contact with people. Dealing with
this dynamism and responsibility requires nurses to
have knowledge and skills of management. It becomes
apparent that the leadership needed to get work done
through people is increasingly important for nurses to
dispose their professional performance. Furthermore,
proactive leaders who had a vision and could motivate
associates to work toward common goals could help
organization survive and even thrive during rapid
change.
Although, this is the case teaching materials in this
endeavor are scarce in Ethiopia. Therefore, this lecture
note is written to narrow this gap. The target audiences
for this teaching material are student nurses at BSc level
and nurses working at each level of the health care
system. This material is not intended to substitute other
i
, teaching and reference materials. Its objective is to
provide useful insights and information on management
in general and nursing management in specific.

Chapter one to five deals with introduction to
management and nursing service administration;
mission, philosophy and goals of an organization;

and group dynamics are the topics dealt in chapters 6,

resolution; management of change, project
