on his part sees effective leadership as a unique ways and integrating
employees with the organisation to achieve its vision or objectives and
that to a large extent the effectiveness of a leader is largely
dependent to the styles adopted by mangers which he says is central in
the management of Organisations. Speaking in the same vein Edem,
observes that failure or success of an organisation, which affect the
subordinates, the customers and agencies within and outside the
organisation. Although there is no standard method through which a
leader can be effective in achieving high goals in an organisation
but that what is required is the modification and the combination of the
variables that make a leader effective if the goals and objectives of
the organisation have to be realized (Edem 2002).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Managing
people in Organisations is parts and parcel of management Process.
Therefore, managers should realize, that people are the critical
elements in organisations and that they should be recognized as being
synonymous with the organisation. But the problem is, to what extent do
managers recognize this fact that employees are synonymous with
Organisations and that they should be adequately motivated so that they
can give their best to ensure the achievement of the organization’s
goals. Again the leadership behaviour/style in most organisations which
believe that workers could be treated anyhow as a result of unemployment
situation in the country which makes job switch difficult has resulted
in the hardship workers face in their places of work in Nigeria. This
behaviour/style of leadership has an impact on reforming and/or creating
organisational culture which in turn affects organisational performance
and commitment. So given this situation, how effective can a leader be
to elicit the best response from subordinates and make for the highest
or best performance (Usoro, 2000). Furthermore, some researchers are of
the opinion that the most common problems affecting organisational
performance in Nigeria businesses and other institutions are poor
attitude to work among the workforce, inefficiency and ineffectiveness
of leaders in most places, others still belief that organisations in
Nigeria are managed through leadership styles and behaviours that are
strange to typical Nigerian culture.
In view of the above
contending issues, it was necessary to look at the significance of
effective leadership in achieving organizational goals in Nigeria using
Eti-Osa Local Government Area, Lagos State as a case study.
