Please clarify - leadership vs. job achievements

Question I haven't seen discussed [Note: resume for IB Associate from current MBA student]

Q1 Should I include "leadership achievements" from previous jobs (not student clubs or so)? [Note: leadership achievement = promoted earlier compared to..., selected as one of..., chosen as the only..., etc.]

Q2 If answer to Q1 is "yes" then how to structure it?

Keep "job achievements" and "leadership achievements" together (aka Option 1 below) or separate "job achievement" from "leadership achievements" (aka Option 2 below) or add additional section/heading "Leadership" (aka Option 3 below)? In this case, however, do I repeat employers and positions to indicate which achievement happened when?

Option 1:

COMPANY Position Bullet #1: Job achievement #1 Bullet #2: Job achievement #2 Bullet #3: Job achievement #3 Bullet #4: Leadership achievement #1 Bullet #5: Leadership achievement #2

Option 2:

COMPANY Position Achievements: Bullet #1: Job achievement #1 Bullet #2: Job achievement #2 Bullet #3: Job achievement #3 Leadership: Bullet #1: Leadership achievement #1 Bullet #2: Leadership achievement #2

Option 3:

E X P E R I E N C E [separate section] COMPANY Position Bullet #1: Job achievement #1 Bullet #2: Job achievement #2 Bullet #3: Job achievement #3

L E A D E R S H I P [separate section] Bullet #1: Leadership achievement #1 Bullet #2: Leadership achievement #2
