INTRODUCTION
Effective leadership plays a very crucial role in maintaining the organizational culture. A leader
can be an individual with the power to influence authority that enhances the tone of workplace
culture. In contrast, the corporate environment can be explained as the collection of practice and
business values that help the company in guiding the employees. The present report will discuss
the various leadership theories and their impact on the employees' well-being and job
satisfaction.
LEADERSHIP STYLE AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES
PERFORMANCE
In business, leadership can be defined as the process of guiding, directing, and influencing
the behavior of employees. The executive mainly does it to enhance the business's performance
in the competitive market (Deshwal & Ashraf Ali, (2020)). In simple words, leadership can be
defined as the capacity of an individual to influence their subordinates to accomplish a specific
goal.
Moreover, it plays a crucial role in management as a leader is the one that motivates the
subordinates and also provides them with a clear path. Along with this, it helps develop the
company's future vision so that it can maintain its position in the external environment.
I have experience that leadership plays an essential function in management. It initiates
action by communicating the organizational policy, producer, and plans to their employees to
avoid confusion regarding the goals (Rincon-Gallardo, 2020). Along with this, it helps build
motivation of their subordinates by providing them with monetary and non- monetary invective
to work more efficiently for the organization. Moreover, it also helps create a healthy work
environment by listing to the issues faced by the employees and providing an appropriate

solution (El Khouly, AbdelDayem & Saleh, 2017). Thus, it helps leaders coordinate their
interests with the company goal, achieving the objectives in a limited time frame. Furthermore, I
have learned that there are three standard leadership styles as Autocratic, Democratic and
Lassies- fair that help leaders in managing their duties as well as their characteristics
Democratic style can be defined as the most communally effective way the executive
decides by discussing it with the other employees and motivating them to come up with
innovative ideas. To improve the business growth. In my opinion, the autocratic style is the
opposite of the democratic style as these leaders do not discuss-plan and procedures with their
subordinates. However, this approach hurts the business as employees do not feel recognized,
resulting in decreasing their morale (Tahir, Hattab & Mappatoba 2020). As well as it also
increases employee retention that hinders the company's development.
Moreover, I think the best style that executives can adopt is Laissez — Faire leadership that
allows subordinates to let them do work according to their choice. That contributes to enhancing
the problem solving skills of the employees and builds trust with them and the organization. In
addition, it provides the employees with freedom to work that contributes to reducing their stress
while working and building a solid relationship with them. However, there are some negative
impacts like low accountability, such deadline of objective, and employees can easily blame the
leaders for their evil work. This leads to confusion among the worker, such as their roles and job
performance.
Leadership theories explain the characteristics of the leaders in various situations and
help the individual identity. In other words, it can allow leaders to possess certain traits and
behavior in situational problems. There are multiple theories, such as contingency and situational
theory that help increase their abilities (Hou et al., 2019). The contingency theory state that there
