Leadership is rightly considered to be a ‘make or break’ factor in success of any organization, and hence has always remained in lime light of formal academic research, professional discourse and popular literature.  Despite of very powerful theories, there is a continuous notion of ‘not enough’ that creates a vacuum, usually filled up by confusions and misperceptions.  The primary reason for this vacuum is that, despite being powerful in their own context, no single leadership theory takes a holistic account of leadership, leading to lack of understanding of leadership in its holistic perspective.  Efforts to provide a holistic / universal view of leadership also do not capture all the aspects that could explain leadership in its complete and universal sense.  Therefore, the scarcity remains for a model that could explain leadership in its complete sense.  This study by the author endeavours to develop a framework that could fill up the gap.  It critically analyses the existing theories of leadership for gaps and synthesizes the existing literature into a fundamental framework, which may have the potential of becoming a universal leadership framework.  This framework will help in gathering all the existing theories of leadership in one place, link these to the parts of leadership framework which they focus on, making leadership literature meaningful and relevant to the bigger picture.  Such a framework could also guide further research by presenting research done so far, gaps and opportunities for further knowledge add-on.
