Morphology
The meaning is fully compositional: 'leadership' (capacity to guide or direct people) restricted to the domain 'business' (a company or commercial organization) yields the intended sense without idiomatic shift. This domain-restriction pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the phrase's meaning.
Etymology
Business leadership paints a clear picture: the word business means the company and leadership is the person who stands in front to guide the team and make decisions. So it means 'managing and guiding a company's strategies and people'.
