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.

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.
