Changing dynamics of organizational diversity and societal values have brought transformative changes in the concept of inclusive leadership over the last three decades. This analysis presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scholarly publications with respect to inclusive leadership, while synthesizing existing literature and exploring empirical works. For the study purpose, 99 research articles published between 1990 to 2022 have been reviewed by employing advanced bibliometric techniques. Consequently, we identified growth, trends, and patterns in research output. Within the defined parameters, the research data was collected from a Scopus database, which sifted subject specific academic articles, conference papers, and other scholarly contributions. Key bibliometric indicators, such as publication trends, growth pattern, citation counts, authorship patterns, and collaboration networks, were analyzed. Preliminary findings indicate a significant change during the given timeframe, highlighting the increasing focus while keeping its impact on organizational performance into consideration. The analysis further mapped thematic areas and the interconnectivity of Inclusive Leadership across different research disciplines. It highlights influential authors and institutions contributing significantly and thus assist readers to analyze key developments, paradigms, and challenges related to the subject in great detail. Additionally, the study provides a geographic distribution of publications, emphasizing the involvement of different countries and regions. Various dimensions of multifaceted nature of inclusive leadership and its impact on organizational performance explored through this analysis will offer valuable perspectives and guidelines to policymakers in developing innovative, collaborative, and social responsible team, adapting to the changing dynamics of organizational diversity and societal values. Overall, bibliometric analysis contributes well in better conception of the evolution of research with a comprehensive overview of the scholarly landscape explaining subject transitions. The study offers findings which acts as a perfect toolkit for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in formulating strategies.
