Abstract

Leadership is an essential management function that enables an organization to more effectively direct its resources towards achieving its goals and increases its overall efficiency. Influential leaders are professionals who can inspire and direct their staff members for an organization to be successful and affect people. The performance of workers, as well as their behavior and attitudes, can be significantly influenced by the leaders of an organization. The ability to demonstrate leadership is an essential component of management. There has to be an act of inspiring employees to perform their duties willingly, effectively, and with enthusiasm for an employee's performance to be effective. Organizations have been suggested to adopt various leadership styles, including transformational, laissez-faire, autocratic, and transactional, to achieve business efficiency and economic growth. Every form of leadership is accountable for motivating employees, controlling and managing operations, resolving conflicts, and influencing staff. There is a distinction between the two types of leadership in terms of how these responsibilities are carried out. This study aims to determine which management leadership style is most effective in enhancing performance and achieving the desired outcomes. The research was conducted using the method of library research. According to the findings, various leadership styles have varying effects on the performance of the workforce. The vast majority of the research that was looked at indicates that both transactional and transformational leadership styles positively impact employee performance. Different leadership styles, such as autocratic and laissez-faire, each have their unique impact on employee productivity.
