ABSTRACT

The need to develop better leadership styles is becoming increasingly important in all organizations. The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the impact of leadership on employees performance, particularly in Autostar Gallery Limited. This paper reviews three recent and widely utilized leadership styles: contingency theory, transactional theory, and transformational theory. There is a lack of total agreement in the reviewed literature as to the best leadership style to be used in law enforcement, but transactional theory appears to be more effective than contingency theory. Transformational theory is considered by many to be an improvement to the transactional theory of leadership. There appears to be an ever increasing number of studies supporting the benefits of the transformational theory. In todays ever changing climate, there are some researchers whose findings suggest the optimal leadership style may be a blend of transactional and transformational theories.
