Visionary leadership emphasizes the ability of leaders to lead organizations, motivate them, and make strategic decisions. The concept of vision is at the heart of these processes and is critical for leaders to be able to navigate effectively. These leaders not only manage the current situation, but also anticipate future opportunities and challenges, develop strategies accordingly, and lead the organization in accordance with this vision. The concept of visionary, which includes many features including formal differences, stands out more clearly than other elements such as creativity. This study conducted a search of the Web of Science database to analyze academic publications on visionary leadership. 278 publications were reached and publications; types, years, countries and universities with the most publications. The findings showed that the most studies on visionary leadership were conducted in the USA and the vast majority of publications were doctoral dissertations. While the number of publications has increased since the 2010s, 2019 has come to the fore as the year with the most publications. The results reveal that visionary leadership is an important area of research on a global scale.
