In recent times, the nexus between construction and leadership has become even stronger. Construction is seen as a major vehicle for pursuing sustainable development goals. Leadership training is essential in the construction sector for a variety of reasons. While the construction industry in Ghana is a widely researched topic in the literature, relatively little effort has been given to exploring the leadership development dimensions of the phenomenon. A comprehensive analysis of the relevant literature was carried out on existing literature on leadership development in the Ghanaian construction industry. With the help of a multi-layered hierarchical iterative method, it conducted a search of important databases and conducted a thematic analysis of each of the papers that fit the inclusion criteria. It emerged from the analysis of the twelve documents that fit the inclusion criteria that the existing Ghanaian literature on the subject revolves around three key themes within the construction literature, namely, the role of leadership development, the types of leadership, and the importance of leadership in construction operations. The majority of the studies focused on the theme of leadership development, with the least being the types of leadership. The implications of these themes for the broader literature are discussed.
