Leadership studies have gained traction in the 21st century as scholars, statesmen and organisations seek to unravel this abstract yet tangible notion. The study seeks to ascertain the impact leadership has on organisational growth particularly at a pharmaceutical company in South Africa. Guided by the comprehensive literature on leadership the researcher embarks on unraveling the various aspects of business upon which leadership imprints. With the end purpose in mind, leaders need to determine what is required to achieve these goals and still remain current in a highly competitive market. Data for the study is obtained through a quantitative assessment offered to all the employees at the company. Major findings highlight areas where management can improve in order to ensure a competitive advantage and solidify the company's position as a market leader on the continent of Africa.
