Abstract:
The ability to lead effectively includes orchestrating important change, then, will set the
excellent managers apart from the average ones. Great leaders keep people focused on moving
the organization toward its ideal future, motivating them to overcome whatever obstacles lie in
the way. They master skills that are useful to their organizations, and they hold to performance
standards that are higher than required. The essence of leadership is in the level & degree of
professional planning which includes purpose, priorities, plans, listening, learning, leading,
attitude, aptitude, attention, articulate, imagination, ideas, integrity, inspire & so on. In this
global competitive environment, effective leadership style is necessary to reduce the attrition
rate. Organization’s survival, success and profitability depend upon employee’s performance and
productivity which is directly associated with leader’s approach(style).
Leadership has been characterized as “activity aimed at bringing about change in an organization
or social system to improve people’s lives” (Austin& Leland, 1991, p. 7). Such responsibility
suggests that leaders are charged with an enormous burden to effect organizational and social
change. Hence, competent, steady, and progressive leadership can be a critical factor that
determines whether an organization survives and thrives or succumbs to the pressures and
challenges of today’s increasingly competitive marketplace. Identifying successful leadership
qualities is a challenging and dynamic task and has been a topic of decades-long debate among
industrial psychologists (Termen, 1904).
Researcher here wants to analyze elements present in different styles which can improve the
performance of employees. So, a new leadership style can be developed which is customized
form of effective factors from different styles which have influence on employee performance.
This new innovation will help in reducing gap between leader’s and employee’s mentality. It has
been recommended that organizations use the leadership style that enhances the capabilities and
abilities of the people. Moreover, this research can be useful for the growth of employee, society,
organization and economy by reducing employee turnover and improve standard of living.
