Today, considering that the growth and flourishing of any organization depend on the knowledge and capabilities of its leaders, the first and most important step in this path is to identify the level of knowledge and ability of the leaders within an organization. The most effective tool for understanding the awareness of managers is to recognize their competencies within the organization. The aim of the present research was to design a comprehensive leadership model. A qualitative case study research design was employed. Participants were selected using purposive sampling and theoretical saturation criteria, resulting in 27 elites and faculty members from Fars Province being chosen for interviews. To obtain the credibility and validity of the data, participant response review methods were used, and reliability was assessed using the Holistic coefficient, which was found to be 0.81. The findings of the research indicated that the comprehensive leadership competency model consists of four overarching themes: clear thinking, which includes future thinking, team thinking, conceptual thinking, and creative thinking; self-leadership, which encompasses self-management, accountability, flexibility, resilience, and continuous learning; guiding others, which includes empathy, perception and evaluation, multigenerational leadership, communication skills, writing skills, and diplomacy; and knowledge management, which involves negotiation, conflict management, coaching, customer orientation, problem-solving, and authenticity.
