description The purpose of this study was to understand nurse leadership development within the Irish context. Limited literature is published related to nursing leadership development within small island countries. Explorative semi structured interviews, underpinned by a phenomenology philosophy, were conducted to understand the ascribed meaning of nurse leadership development experiences within the Irish context. The major themes from this study included: leadership strategies, political acumen, cultural influence, and gender norms. The Republic of Ireland nurse leaders used participatory leadership styles, assertive communication, and political acumen to influence the advancement of national policies, nursing education and advanced practice opportunities.
