of leadership styles and its effectiveness in organizational performance with
particular references to Mr. Biggs Okpara Avenue Enugu, Enugu State was
intended to determine and assess the leadership style operational n Mr. Biggs

necessary data for the study. This supported with other forms of collecting
data such as books and consultation to the school libraries. Although getting
information through some of this source was not easy, the research therefore
acknowledge some limitations which might in one way or the other affect the
result of the research. After the collection of the data it was used to present
analyze, and interpret the data.
At the end, some finding based
on the data were made which among other is that the most popular style of
leadership operational in Mr. Biggs is participatory form of leadership

factors. It was also found out that most mangers in Mr. Biggs use to compensate
their subordinate by giving additional responsibilities but failing to arrange
such action with adequate incentives such as recommendation for promotion pay increases,

facilities for both the workers and managers as this would go a long way in
improving their performance.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
An
appraisal of leadership styles and its effectiveness in organizational
performance. A leadership is generally means influence, the act or process of
influencing people so that they will strive willingly towards the achievement
of group goals. The concept can be enlarged to imply not only willingness to
work with real and confidence.
Zeal
reflects order, earnestness, and intensity in the execration of work;
confidence reflects exercises and technical ability.
To
lead is to guide, conduct, direct and preceded. Leader act to help a group
achieve objectives with the maximum application of its capabilities. They
place themselves before to accomplish organizational goals.
The relationship of leaders to the management crises intriguing as a case of
the situational approach to leadership, there are many facets to consider. In
time of prosperity well-developed hygiene factors supervision, interpersonal
relation working conditions, wages, polices, and job security. May, to a
variable degree, be used by the leader as reinforcing agents to provide a “set”
that will produce good results. But if adverse conditions develop, such as a
long. Drawn out depression or deflect by an enemy in war. There will be no jobs
and inadequate pensions; there may be wages cuts and negative changes in
working conditions when there is the preferred leadership style.
Another hygiene factor, not include in the usual enumerate, is the relationship
of managerial success or failure of leadership potential. It would appear that
in our society success is assumed and therefore is not a positive factor as a
leadership role. On the other hand, can a manger with a succession of failures
effectively lead?
The emergence of spontaneous leaders in times of crises used to favorite theme
for developing an understanding of leadership itself, the group at play selects
its leaders and follows order, at all scene of an accident emerges during
crises?
Based on these problems, it is the intension of the researcher to verify the
existence of this problem in Nigeria using Mr. Biggs Okpara Avenue Enugu as a
case study.
1.2 PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SUBJECT MATTER
a
look at the happenings in various private owned institutions gives a picture of
workers attitude that varies between disinterestedness to deliberate impediment
as a result of which the smallest and simplest piece of business takes move
time and trouble than it should and frequently, requires the attention of a
senior instead of junior employee before it can be done at all, this odds to
the actual cost of operating a business which involves uneconomic and senseless
use of manger. Through the years it has shown that private owned institutions
have almost if not completely failed in their performance this failure may
partly be attributed to ineffective leadership, it is based on this, that we
set out to investigate and evaluation the effectiveness of leadership adopted
by these intuitions.
1.3
PROBLEMS THE STUDY WILL BE CONNECTED WITH
With reference to Mr. Biggs Okpara Avenue is
hindrance on leadership, while some critical dimension of the leadership
situation in Nigeria organization especially on Mr. Biggs Okpara Avenue Enugu
is postion power. A leader with clear and considerable position power can move
easily obtain better follower ship than one without such power. In Mr. Biggs
Enugu position may be given to uneducated/unqualified person or to somebody
without adequate authority, less position for higher authority and
responsibility but the leader abuses the position by neglecting his duties and
responsibilities and engage in corruption and encirclement upon individual
liberty.
Task structure: where task are better spelt out, the leaders quality of output
or performance be more easy noticed than where task are not. In Mr. Biggs
appointments, task structure or quality of performance is not a matter of
concern.
What is paramount is interest on dually bags, while it doesn’t even know what
they are supposed to be doing and even when they know, they do not know the
extent or deliberately cross boundaries.
Exploitative Authoritative: these kind of classes of
leaders are highly autocratic have little trust in subordinates. Lead people
through fear and punishment, with occasional rewards, engages only in downward
community, limit decision making to the top etc. these explanations relates to
many of our Nigeria leader both directors in Mr. Biggs, particularly Mr. Biggs
Okpara avenue Enugu. May of this leaders think that if the encourage their
subordinate climb the organization ladder, they will be push out the
organization.
LEADERS MEMBERS RELATION: This is the extent to
which group members like and trust a leader and are willing to follow him. This
is the most important from leader point of view since position power is the
control of enterprise. Very few leaders in Nigeria carry their workers or
subordinate along with them.
1.4
THE IMPORTANT OF STUDING THAT AREA
This research work will b e of the immense help to
Mr. Biggs in their process of chosen their best leadership style to follow.
Furthermore, it will educate the company on the style of the subordinate and
superior relationship to be maintained in the organization for achievement of
their organization objective.
It will also help the general public on their decision on leadership style to
be followed by similar organization.
This study is justified in the sense that it is done
as a contribution to the current search for their solution of their managerial
problem especially on the areas of the leadership.
Finally, it will help other research that will research into leadership’s style
in the future.
