Abstract
This study applies a deep lexical approach using natural language processing (NLP) to inductively identify eight broad categories of leadership qualities. These data-driven categories both align with and extend existing leadership frameworks, illustrating how NLP can uncover underlying structures and reduce conceptual overlap in leadership theory.
