INTRODUCTION  

 

 Leadership means different things to different people. People speak of an  authors or artists leadership  in his field, meaning his individual eminence . others describe leaders as these who dominate and command people under them. Many yet believe that anybody in a position of authority bears the title leader. 

According to Ordway tead (1995) leadership is defined as the activities of influencing people to co-operate towards some goal which they come to find desirable real leaders are interested on how people can be brought tom work together for a common and efficiently and happily. 

 Moreso, leading is the element of management that inputs others to action. (Nkweke Uche 1997) it is one of the essential functions that must be performed by all supervisors and executives that is by all who direct the work of other people leading of all the key functions of management, planning, organizing staffing, controlling etc is one of the most difficult to understand, acquire and evaluate. For centuries schools have been speculating on the nature of leadership, yet only in recent years have researchers conducted systematic investigation that have yielded useful insights into the dimensions of leadership. 

 Furthermore, leadership is an aged area of managerial responsibility that is needed to develop plan, set objectives that help the organization co-operate in the future and to meet the demand of the environment as in Emenite Nigeria PLC. Their leadership in paramount and important for the survival and growth of the organization which consequently makes it substantial to fund a brain leader.

 As the organization grows, the expectations about their performances increases as well as the demand for leadership.  The technical, economical, social and political characteristics of the organization brings about imagination of a leader. People capable of exercising effective leadership in the organization are scarces relative to the needs for them. Leadership ability therefore is a valuable skill and those who posses or have it reap high rewards.

 Leadership is defined as a process where by one person exerts social influence over members of a group it is the ability of individual to influence others to work beyond ordinary level to achieve a desired goal or objectives. A group of leadership theorists lead by lead by  Fred  fields in their contingency mode of leadership see leadership as influencing people as that they will strive willingly towards achieving the group goal. This concept can be encouraged in imply not only willingness to work, but also willingness and zeal to trust their leader. 

 Leadership has effect on the performances of any organization, it effects both followers attitude and efficiency of the organization. Followers at these level stand to evaluate their jobs and their organization according to the kind of leadership behaviour their bosses exhibit for a leader to led efficiently   he been to understand his subordinates and the situation in the organization. The solution variable which influence the efficiency of a given leadership style is characterized by the follower and the task  organization climate power available to the leader and follower relationship. The important researches by fried fielders , Koonts wkert and others have helped to uncover and styles and  situational variables stating that a situation in which a leader find himself determines his leadership style and that group or team work is important for an efficient leadership. 

 We can therefore say that since leadership is the element of management that impels others to action, the survival of every organization depends on the performance of its leaders. Thus, the search for a definite solution to problems of leadership efficiency in an organization and the best possible leadership style employed to increase the followers moral, has proved to be endless pursuit of organizational theories. Research findings however, suggest that leadership efficiency is not depending on the source of power alone but with situational factors, climate or any particular styles. From the foregoing therefore, the question is how efficient is the leadership style in bringing about a good relationship and reaction of followers towards organizational work and efficiency. It is the aim of this feasibility study to give solution to the question
