Performance of organizations is related to the profitability of the organizations in terms of its growth and profit both in long and short term. In business organizations, investors and businessmen desire and endeavor to ensure that their organizations perform well to earn more profit, grow fast and achieve competitive edge in the industry. For organizations to perform well, apart from tangible and intangible resources, effective and dynamic leadership is a pre requisite. Leadership style of the leader of an organization has a strong impact on the performance of the organization. Though most of the researchers in the past agreed that leadership style has relationship with organizational performance but there are some who did not support this view, hence, an ambiguity exists. To address this confusion, the researchers studied the types/styles of leadership and the leadership styles of different leaders of various organizations in Pakistan and examined their impact on organizational performance. There are three main leadership styles; transformational, transactional and laissez faire leadership styles. While the first two have a positive but different level of impact, the third one has a negative impact on organizational performance. A quantitative study was conducted by using a questionnaire filled from various leaders of manufacturing and service organizations. Results of the study were studied through SPSS and the researchers found that though the most suited style of leadership is transformational one but in new and growing organizations transactional leadership style may be more productive, while in certain circumstances though limited and for a short period, laissez faire style may be required. Hence, the leader might have to adopt a hybrid style of leadership style. Leadership style has a significant impact on the organizational performance.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The word "leadership" in modern organization did not appear until about 1800. Leadership as a concept effect all of us in the sense that it guarantees a great deal of interest due to day activities. We have in situation where we may serve as leaders or be faced with others who are leaders.
Leaders are usually at the center of activities therefore, the qualities are often the focus of attention. But looking at a leaders as a process means that many questions must be considered about how and why some people become leaders and how well they perform relative to followers expectation.
There are many traditional ideas about leadership that have proved questionable. Perhaps, the most common one is the notion that leaders are born but not made. It maintains that there are many certain in born qualities such as initiative courage, intelligence and honour which together predestine a man to be a leader, by the exercise of will power it self services on important leadership trait or by the rough tutorship of experience, some of those qualities might be developed,
In activity, the behaviours as "leadership" must include the reactions of the followers therefore, leadership is not confined to a single person in a group but depend upon there member as well.
Although leadership IS not just one person, it is easier, of course, to see it embodied in an individual. This is because leaders are usually more active and their actions, attention make things happen.
In addition to the leader and the group, the situation began to increased attention in leadership theory, The situation approach to was initially called zeitgeist (a German word meaning "Spirit of the times") the leader is viewed as a product of the time and the situation. The person, with the particular qualities or traits that a situation requires will emerge as the leader such a view has much historical support as a 'theoretical basis for leadership and serves as basis for today's situational and now contingency theories of leadership in general, the leader is therefore the most influential member or his or her group.

If a leader and indeed, leadership is so important to that extent, then who is a leaders? Is leadership necessary? If necessary then, in what ways? How many style of leadership do we have? what is an organization? Does leadership have anything to do with organization?
1.4 SCOPE AND UMITATION OF THE STUDY
The scope of the study shall be based on the impact of leadership styles in an organization a case study of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin.
The type of leadership style 'under study include among other exploitative autocracy benevolent autocracy, consultative leadership participate group leadership.
There are also limitations to this study that the course of the study
TIME: There is also the problem of time constraint and research to find out the detail from different textbooks.
ATTITUDE: Another limitation to the research work is the indifferent attitudes of finding information in books and gathering them together.
Leadership, then, is something more than just personality or accident or appointment. It is intimately linked with behaviour. It is essentially a human process at work in organization. As a working definition, leadership can be described as a dynamic process in a group where by one individual influence the others to contribute voluntarily to the achievement of group tasks in a given situation.
There are several points which can be reformed to.
Firstly, leadership is a dynamic process, not a static one. This implies that a range of leadership style is preferable to one "best style".
Secondly, the role of the leader is to direct the group towards group goals. In an formal or unofficial in a formal group, the goals will have been set mainly if not exclusively, by senior managers in the group.
Thirdly, the style of leadership, and the reaction of the group will be determined considerably by the situation concerned (the tasks, external pressure).
1.6 DEFINITION OF KEY TERMS AND CONCEPT
Leadership is the ability of management to induce subordinate to work towards group goals with confidence and keenness.
According to Webber power is the probability that one actor within a social relationship will be in a position to carryout his own will despite resistance, regardless of the basis on which this probability rests.
Autocratic-Style: All the policies of the group were determined solely by the leader. All authority was centered in this person.
The Leader told the children how the task was to be done in a step - step manner so that, at anyone time, there were uncertain as to what the future steps were. The leader dictates what the work task has and with whom each member would work.
Management is the art of getting things done through others. Efficiently and effectively. It is a process by which cooperatives direct the action of their members toward common objectives
Organization means, suggest that this is not a straight forward task, and offer contrasting perspectives on the issue. Taking this further, four style of leadership can be distinguished.
* The "Tells' Style: Decision are reached by the manager or supervisor and then announced to subordinates to be carried out without question.
* '"The "Sale" Style: As the manager recognizes a likelihood of resistance, he will persuade subordinates to accept by giving them some what fuller accounts of how decisions were reached.
* The 'Consults" Style: managerial decisions are deferred until the' problem has been presented to the group and suggestions have been received.
* The "Joins" Style the manager delegates to the group the right to take decisions. He define the problem and the limits within which action can take place, but decision will normally reflect the majority opinion of the group.
