Considered one of the most widely discussed yet evolving organisational life phenomena, leadership as a concept is often associated with vision, mission, and influencing others. Practitioners continue to debate whether leadership is primarily an innate quality or whether it is a capacity that can be developed through reflection, learning, and practice. In contemporary contexts, this debate has gained significant importance, especially with the emergence of complex organisational challenges, volatility, and diversity. Leadership effectiveness is expected at multiple levels, rather than residing solely among top individuals (Day, 2000).
