Literature on the idea of leadership is in continuous evolution; Leadership models have evolved from autocratic to democratic ones looking at the changing dynamics of the emerging world. Leadership models which were assumed to be universal did not work effectively diversified cultures. Thus current study has been conducted to find a more domestic and local solution of leadership which suits the dynamics of oriental culture. This study has focussed on an idea of leadership forwarded by philosopher poet Dr. Allama Iqbal in his poetic work. Management scienc & Business studies are now using work of classical literature to develop theories that can help managers in their day-to-day tasks for formulating strategies.

Poem titled Cordova mosque which appeared in his book Gabriel wing has been used primarily to develop this model. Current study is exploratory in nature and a detailed review of literature and affinity of ideology of Iqbal’s leader with Nietzsche’s Ubermensch has also been conducted.
