Leadership style is a significant perspective in the achievement of any institution especially in academic organizations because it influences the performance of faculty members. Leadership is the ability of impacting individuals so they endeavor energetically and enthusiastically towards the achievement of objectives. Administration means affecting individuals to work enthusiastically with enthusiasm towards the achievement of the objectives. A person cannot perform the tasks alone, he should have individuals to impact, direct and assemble towards the accomplishment of objectives. The manner in which that leader plays out these jobs and coordinates the affairs of the association is called his/her leadership style. It is the manner in which a person leads. A few heads are intrigued more with regards to the work to be done than with the personnel they work with, others give more consideration to their association with their colleagues than work (Ezeuwa, 2005)
