“…Similarly, only a handful of research studies elaborate on the malleable and developmental nature of political skill (e.g. Doldor, 2017;Feitosa et al, 2021;Oerder et al, 2014). Ferris et al ( , 2007 have argued that specific developmental interventions such as mentoring, training and practice significantly contribute to the development of political skill.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to review the scholarship on political skill and political will so that the authors might inspire future work that assesses these constructs individually and in tandem.Design/methodology/approachThe “political skill” and “political will” concepts were introduced about 40 years ago, but they only have been measured and produced empirical results much more recently. Since that time, substantial research results have demonstrated the important roles political skill and political will play in organizational behavior. This paper provides a comprehensive review of this research, draws conclusions from this work and provides a meta-theoretical framework of political skill and political will to guide future work in this area.FindingsScholarship in this area has developed quite rapidly for political skill, but less so for political will. The authors hope that recent developments in a political will can set the stage for scholars to create a theoretical and empirical balance between these two related constructs.Originality/valueThe authors corral the vast and widespread literature on political skill and will and distill the information for scholars and practitioners alike.

“…Strengthened leadership is also about creating conditions for dealing with political, organisational and resource barriers (Fagerstrom, 2009). Both primary and specialist health service systems are composed of clinical and non-clinical roles (Feitosa et al , 2021). However, health-care providers need more opportunities and resources to not only identify the model that best fits the health service system but also develop effective leadership skills based on the need for new competence.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to emphasise nurses’ experiences of nurse leaders' changing roles over 25 years. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative study was performed with individual interviews of eight nurse managers. From Norway and Finland, all nurse managers with more than 25 years of experience and working in specialist health care and primary health care were included in the study. Findings These nurse managers have a lot of knowledge and resolved conflicts using improved methods and have experienced continuous change. The role of nurse manager ranges from bedside to exclusive administrative work. The organisations have become more extensive, and the staff has grown. These changes have led to many challenges and more complex organisations. Research limitations/implications Nurse managers who have worked for over a 25-year period had useful experience and could handle many new challenges. They can change themselves and their organisation tasks over time and follow the development of society. Originality/value Based on their experiences as novices at the beginning of their career, the informants demonstrate their development to the level of expert manager.

The challenges of change processes for nurse leaders—a qualitative study of long‐term leaders' experiences over 25 years

Healthcare services in Nordic countries have undergone considerable organizational changes, which have correspondingly challenged the role and status of nurse leaders at all levels of health services (Hafsteinsdóttir, 2019;Storbjörk et al., 2021). By improving relationships between different professions and organizations and through motivating and responsible change processes, positive patient and professional outcomes are activated.The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health is responsible for the development of health services in Finland, while the Norwegian Directorate of Health is responsible in Norway. The need for changes is often a result of political decisions that are published in legislation, recommendations and different health reforms (White Paper, 2008-2009. These political decisions in both Finland and Norway have had a major impact on operational and professional leadership and management with major change processes as a result.The ideology of New Public Management (NPM), digitization and the priorities of open healthcare versus hospital care is noteworthy because of the requirements for organizational and personnel changes their implementation demanded (Nylenna, 2020;Orvik, 2015). The ideology of NPM became common in healthcare
