It can be used to facilitate better communication, increase transparency and improve decision making. Technology is an invaluable tool for leaders and can be used to improve organizational performance and ensure that all stakeholders are kept informed. Technology has enabled leaders and governments to become more efficient, more transparent, and more responsive to their constituents. It has allowed them to access and analyze large amounts of data quickly and easily and to make better informed decisions.

The study results will also benefit other stakeholders such as the policy makers as well as researchers and scholars from different parts of the world. The top management of technology in the country will also use the study findings to improve leadership and governance performance in all their activities and programs.
