Abstract

This study presents a systematic qualitative literature review examining the transition from leadership to entrepreneurship in sustainability, with a focus on key drivers, outcomes, and governance mechanisms. Drawing on a structured synthesis of peer reviewed articles, the review identifies leadership capabilities such as visionary thinking, ethical orientation, and stakeholder engagement as critical drivers that foster sustainable entrepreneurial initiatives. The findings reveal that sustainability oriented entrepreneurship contributes to enhanced environmental performance, social value creation, and long term organizational resilience. Additionally, governance mechanisms, including regulatory frameworks, institutional support, and corporate governance structures, play a pivotal role in shaping and sustaining these transitions. The review also highlights the dynamic interplay between individual leadership attributes and broader institutional contexts in influencing sustainable entrepreneurship outcomes. Overall, this study contributes to the growing body of knowledge by integrating fragmented insights into a comprehensive framework, offering implications for policymakers, practitioners, and future research in sustainability and entrepreneurship.
