Leadership emerges from the core values of the organisation. It has been regarded as an important and powerful driver of excellence when adequately backed by globalization issues and flexibility in leaders' style dynamisms. This paper touches upon the cornerstones of the concepts and constructs surrounding powerful leadership and therefore, cuts across through and between various intervening concepts such as leadership, culture and also change. It provides a spectrum of leadership phenomena to explain the possible kind of leadership that is needed for the public sector enterprises to excel. It supports the theoretical underpinnings with a host of data through a study of a cross-section of senior managers in the organizations.
