ABSTRACT This bibliographic study systematically examines Ecological leadership and organisational adaptability have gained prominence as vital paradigms for advancing sustainable business practices, resilience, and competitiveness in the face of global challenges. The analysis highlights current research trends, theoretical stances, and research gaps in this interdisciplinary field by consulting academic publications, journals and scholarly papers. It examines comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 680 publications indexed in the Web of Science database between 2005 and 2025. Using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, the research maps intellectual structures, uncovers thematic clusters, and traces the evolution of scholarship in this domain. Citation, co-citation, and co-occurrence analyses were applied to evaluate scientific contributions, examining variables such as keywords, authors, journals, institutions, and countries. The findings reveal an increasing convergence between ecological leadership and organisational adaptability, with significant emphasis on strategic renewal, innovation, sustainability integration, and stakeholder engagement. The study ends with suggestions for additional empirical research to clarify the gendered aspects of ecological leadership in promoting agility in modern organizational settings.
