Abstract

Leadership is essentially about driving and coordinating groups in the process that consolidates the management of personnel in organizations. In health institutions in Brazil, the vast majority of the formal organizational structure is rigid, with charts and a pyramid-shaped hierarchy levels defined. For health care is achieved, the professional who carries out the management makes use of instruments of administrative work such as planning, organization, coordination and control. Nursing takes the intermediate level in the work process, highlights the activities of the oversight function, emphasizing the length of the orders and rules. This is a literature and data were collected by consulting the Virtual Health Library - BVS/BIREME in databases MEDILINE, LILACS and SCIELO. His goal was "to examine articles published between 2000 to 2010 related to the leadership of nurses in hospitals and identify prevalent type of leadership." The keywords were selected leadership, nurses and hospitals for data collection. We selected twenty papers available online in its entirety in regular health care, in Portuguese, in the period 2000 to 2010, which were subjected to thematic analysis of Minayo. It was concluded that the leadership role is poorly understood among professionals who confuse leadership with power. Still, it's a great challenge to be achieved by all nurses, professionals and students from the the area, seekingnew proposals for performance with prestige and professional development.
