Abstract
Leadership is one of the most critical factors in determining an organization's performance.
Leadership style refers to how a leader directs and encourages others to accomplish
organizational goals. Managers are believed to play an essential role in any organization's
efficiency, progress, and career progression. The leadership styles help managers become leaders
by allowing them to make decisions, motivate their staff, and assist their employees with job
issues. The impact of management styles on organizational success is investigated in this study.
It focuses on three types of leadership: transformational, laissez-faire or delegating, and Servant
leadership. . This study gives us an insight into leadership styles and how they affect

Introduction Leadership is defined as the ability to influence people towards achieving organizational goals.
Leaders with powerful leadership strategies are regarded as protectors and guardians for their
organizations in times of emergencies (Cote, 2017). Leadership style reflects on influencing each
accomplishment or downfall of an organization. Accompanying with the development of
science, the idea of leadership later states that employees can be included in the decision-making
process. Besides, employees will not be seen as objects in the organization but are instead placed
as a subject. Employees may define the progress in organizational productivity and are no longer
admired as minor workers. In other words, organizational success is the success of all individuals
involved and the leader's success. Furthermore, a leader can be successful if the leader can drive
efficiency for his followers by producing an atmosphere and work culture that encourages
growth and performance advancement.
As success is the target of every organization, high accomplishment is one efficient way to
obtain the desired success. Anything that affects employee performance will be crucial in
promoting a job, and leadership is one of the significant determinants that may affect their
performance.
According to (Giolito et al., 2020), organizations are currently having many challenges.
Employees are encouraged to be creative and take the initiative, while leaders are supposed to be
more helpful and human-focused. Since seeking organizational goals needs a balance between
the behavior of leaders and employees in performing, leadership becomes an interesting topic for
researchers and practitioners. For the past years, leadership has gained a lot of gratefulness and
reviews from researchers. Leadership's impact on the organizational outcomes is now obviously
recognized and trusted in the related research, with confirmation proposing that practical
leadership improves employee, business, and organizational outcomes (Sarros, 2009).
Furthermore, according to (Cabeza-Erikson et al., 2008), Effective leadership is one of the core
elements of an organization's overall approach to promoting its business despite the challenges
generated by the speedy increase of the economy and the business.
Besides, the competition between the opponent is high, and comparator opportunities are
continually open to good performers. Effective leadership -is the crucial factor to have the
employees committed to the organization. Applying successful "leadership" is a high necessity to
overcome environmental and behavioral stresses diplomatically. Leadership approaches should
be taken into consideration for effective institutional management. Moreover, leaders need to
manage and motivate their subordinates to reach their most significant possibilities, participate,
adopt innovation, and make sound professional decisions. Suppose the employees who work
and interact directly with the customers are fulfilled and involved in their jobs. In that case,
they can share their experience and values by delivering the most excellent client service
quality and low level of role stress, which can be applied to all businesses and sectors.
