This paper presents a paradigm of leadership within the nursing profession. It argues that it is vitally important to (re)kindle debate about – and, through this process, ascertain the realization of – complementarity between values and competency bases for the leadership profiles of the nursing profession. The article proposes how this clinical leadership may be understood and realized in the organizational and societal context of 2024. Our ambition is to start a necessary debate, focussing on how to strengthen this requisite leadership, in order to ensure quality and development in nursing care, and the professional competence development of nurses.
