Abstract
The study investigated the influence of Leadership Behaviour on Organisational Effectiveness in Secondary Schools in some selected schools in Ekiti State, a south-western state in Nigeria. The research design used was the descriptive research of the survey type. Subjects used for the study were 105 teachers including principals. The data were collected using a Leadership Behaviour and Organizational Effectiveness Questionnaire and Teacher’s Perception of Principal’s Leadership Behaviour Questionnaire. Five hypotheses were proposed and tested using chi-square statistical analysis. The results were held significant at 0.05 levels. The finding showed that there was a significant relationship between leadership behaviour and organizational effectiveness. The outcome of the research further revealed a significant difference between the qualification of leaders and their behaviour towards organizational effectiveness with no significant difference between the perception of leadership behaviour by teachers and principals.It was concluded from the results of this study that the sex of a leader goes a long way in determining the type of leadership behaviour he/she exhibits and that the positive perception of teachers about the principal will add more to the teachers’ efficiency in that they will be psychologically balanced and disposed to do any work assigned to them by the school authority. Based on the results of the study it was recommended that the School Principal should recognize the fact that their interpersonal behaviour is very important in their daily interaction with teachers towards enhancing School effectiveness. They must be accommodating and sensitive to the needs and problems of their teachers.

Summary
Leadership role is a must in any organization either small or large. It is needed in all facets of life be it health, politics, education, business or social institution. [9] Leaders are people who are supposed to be ‘super –visionary’ in order to effectively play the role of a supervisor in their respective organizations. It has become increasingly necessary that in order to be effective and have good followers, school leaders will have to shift from the conventional way and embrace a new approach. This is in line with the submission that Principals who are merely waiting and too adhering to bureaucratic rules, think structurally and do not dare to International Journal of Secondary Education 2021; 9(1): 26-32 innovate to match the demands of their communities, will be abandoned by people. This is in line with the submission that Principals who are merely waiting and too adhering to bureaucratic rules, think structurally and do not dare to International Journal of Secondary Education 2021; 9(1): 26-32 innovate to match the demands of their communities, will be abandoned by people. [11] This will require head teachers to know their followers and look out for their welfare, training teachers as a team, seeking self-improvement, making sound and timely decisions, seeking responsibility and taking responsibility for their actions
