The scholars are coming from various institutions of the government, private, and academe who hold several leadership posts and are exposed to multitude of leadership elements. The central tendency was used to determine averages of subscription to pre-selected leadership styles including quantum leadership, servant leadership, innovative leadership, VUCA leadership and Level 5 leadership. These are the most recent leadership paradigms. Using averages, the scholars were most likely to be Level 5 leaders who according to Jim Collins are those who are humble yet possesses the fierce professional will, closely following is the servant leadership. Least subscription was noted, though relatively, is quantum leadership.

This is suggestive that the scholars have a fluid practice of leadership encompassing qualities quantum, VUCA, innovative, humility with stern professional will, all in the platform of servant leadership.
