idea rectora


Explanation:
This is a tough one, since "leading" conjures up two meanings: "most important" (especially if it's a British text) and "guiding". Rector(a) suggests both. Plus "idea rectora" is a common enough phrase, with more than 1,200 hits on Google.

Perdona el cambio, José.
Acabo de ver esta traducción en mi Diccionario Larousse.

leading = dominante (idea)
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
Feliz Navidad.
