Abstract

![CDATA[Leadership is frequently misunderstood in the literature, transcends ordinary discussion and operates in an environment characterized by the interaction of individuals for a common goal. Notably, the efficacy of leadership has been a persistent topic of debate, especially during times of crisis. Understanding the dynamics of a leadership environment is crucial considering the increasing scepticism towards leadership in various fields. The aim of this paper is to explicate the rationale behind the metaphorical reference of the leadership display environment as a 'Leadership Galaxy' and to identify the pivotal force, akin to the sun in a galaxy, that maintains equilibrium within the system. The conceptual paper investigates whether leadership is a purely personal characteristics or it is distributed among multiple stakeholders.]]
