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.
To lead is to guide, conduct, direct and preceded. Leader act to help a group achieve objectives with the maximum application of its capabilities. They place themselves before to accomplish organizational goals.

In time of prosperity well-developed hygiene factors supervision, interpersonal relation working conditions, wages, polices, and job security. May, to a variable degree, be used by the leader as reinforcing agents to provide a “set” that will produce good results. But if adverse conditions develop, such as a long. 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.
Another hygiene factor, not include in the usual enumerate, is the relationship of managerial success or failure of leadership potential. It would appear that in our society success is assumed and therefore is not a positive factor as a leadership role. On the other hand, can a manger with a succession of failures effectively lead?
The emergence of spontaneous leaders in times of crises used to favorite theme for developing an understanding of leadership itself, the group at play selects its leaders and follows order, at all scene of an accident emerges during crises?
Based on these problems, it is the intension of the researcher to verify the existence of this problem in Nigeria using Mr. Biggs Okpara Avenue Enugu as a case study.
