Introduction
The leadership style is viewed as a collection of various features, qualities, and actions that leaders employ when interacting with followers.
Organizational performance consists of an organization's results or actual outputs, which can be assessed against the organization's projected deliverables, goals, and targets (Al Khajeh, 2018).
3
The leadership role in an organization is crucial when it comes to setting a vision, mission, and goals, coming up with strategies, policies, and ways to reach those goals effectively and efficiently, and channeling and coordinating the efforts and activities of the organization.
Most individuals utilise bureaucratic, charismatic, transformational, autocratic, transactional, or democratic styles of leadership.
The seeks to find out how the different types of leadership affect how well an organization performs.
Transformational leadership style and organizational performance
Managers that emphasize transformational leadership place special emphasis on growing the employees' total value system, morals, abilities, and degree of drive. Transformational leaders are effective for their charismatic ability to motivate workers, their ability to address the psychological needs of employees, and their ability to intellectually engage employees.
4
Transformational leadership seeks to develop followers and takes their needs into consideration.
Transformational leaders are concerned with "transforming" others such that they assist their subordinates and the general staff.
The subordinates of a transformational leader respond with expressions of faith, admiration, devotion, and respect for the leader, as well as an increased preparedness to work harder than planned.
The individualized relationship established by a transformational leader nurtures an environment where individuals are satisfied, hence improving the organizations profitability.
Charismatic leadership style and organizational performance
Charismatic leadership is a leadership style that uses charm, getting along with people, and persuasion to get other people to do things.
Charismatic leadership impacts how followers get motivated and how much they want to achieve, relate, and have power.
The charismatic leadership encourages new ideas and creativity and is thought to keep employees going.
Charismatic leadership does have a harmful influence on the leadership of an organization. It doesn't inspire and motivate the workers enough to get the results they want from them.
Charismatic leadership is regarded as one of the most effective leadership styles, in which charismatic leaders articulate a vision and ask their people to implement it.

Transactional leadership style and organizational performance
Transactional leadership is a style that motivates and instructs followers through the use of rewards and sanctions.
It has been shown that transactional leaders are highly good in guiding decisions targeted at reducing costs and increasing productivity.
The transactional leadership style adds on to the establishment of an atmosphere where workers talents are enhanced and they are continually able to attain concrete and intangible benefits.
This leadership style is particularly effective in fostering a performance-optimal environment and articulating a compelling visualization that progresses the entire organizational performance.
Democratic leadership and organizational performance
There is a significant risk of ineffective execution and bad decision-making under a democratic style of leadership. However, democratic leadership is also recognized to push people to perform better by valuing their perspectives and opinions.
7
A democratic leadership style permits everyone to participate equally in the policymaking course which is key to the success of a business.
The democratic form of leadership encourages teamwork.
Effective leaders stimulate their team members to come up with diverse ideas and inventive solutions to challenging problems by working together.
A democratic style of leadership can be employed to improve both the structural performance and the effectiveness.
Democratic leadership has a favorable effect on the functioning of a company.
Autocratic Leadership and Organizational Performance
Autocratic CEOs are less creative and only encourage one-sided discourse, which has a negative impact on staff engagement and happiness. Autocratic leadership hinders socializing and communication in the workplace, which are necessary for effective organizational performance.
8
Autocratic leadership is a dictatorial model characterized by complete power by the leader.
Autocratic leaders are traditional and authoritative by nature. The autocratic leaders want their workers to follow their orders.
Autocratic leadership can be effective in situations necessitating high levels of competence and expertise. This type of leadership can minimize decision-making time, boost overall productivity, and reduce staff stress.
This style is preferable when projects must be accomplished within specified time constraints.
Bureaucratic leadership style and organizational performance
Bureaucratic leadership is characterized by a propensity for rigid structure in order to implement efficient processes and calculability.
This organizational structure enables an organization to operate like an efficient machine since employees are aware of their position and reporting structure.
Bureaucratic leaders influence the subordinates to comply to the procedures and guidelines they establish. The leaders are enthusiastic to their systems and actions, but not to their workforces.
It is a stiff framework that is not suitable to rapid adaptation and organizational change. This is especially difficult in today's dynamic and intricate society.
