Abstract

This study investigates the organizational leadership styles typical of startups in Nepal, a nation renowned for its developing entrepreneurial ecosystem. The study employs a mixed-method approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques, with an emphasis on comprehending the leadership behaviors that promote success and growth in these early businesses. In-depth interviews with company founders, executives, and important stakeholders are conducted as part of the qualitative aspect in order to learn more about their managerial styles, decision-making procedures, and leadership styles. Additionally, observations and case studies of chosen startups provide actual instances of good leadership techniques and how they affect the growth of the firm. A structured questionnaire is given to a different sample of startup employees to gather their impressions of leadership styles inside their individual firms. This complements the qualitative findings. This quantitative information aids in finding patterns, connections, and possible areas for development. This study provides important insights for business owners, investors, and policymakers looking to support a creative and robust startup ecosystem by acquiring a thorough understanding of leadership style in Nepalese companies. The results may also provide a basis for future studies on leadership in developing economies and offer helpful advice for startups as they confront possibilities and obstacles on their way to long-term growth and success.
