Over the years organisational performance and effectiveness has been linked directly or indirectly to the type of leadership style employed in such organisation, establishment or firms. It is easy to understand that in every
organisation there exist two chambers-the higher or senior personnel and the lower or junior personnel. Most times commands, instructions and directives flow from top-down. So in as much as the lower or junior staffs depend on the top management for directives and guidance, the senior or higher personnel needs the utmost cooperation of the junior staffs for effective performance and achievement of goals and targets. It is therefore important that the top management in every organisation implement a good leadership style that will encourage workers dedication, commitment and willingness to serve and give their best to the organisation.
In carrying out this research work, references were made to various existing articles, literatures and books relating to the subject matter. Also the researcher embarked on a fact finding task to get the needed data and information for effective analysis of the work done.
In addition, questionnaire method was extensively employed to gather the necessary data for the study. Although getting information through some of these sources was not easy, the researcher therefore acknowledge some limitations which mighty in one way or the other affect the result of this research.
After the collection of the data, it was used to presented, analyzed, and interpreted in other to extract the findings of the study.
Based on the major findings, some recommendations for improvement on organisational performance were also made.
