Abstract
This paper explores the relevancy of transformational and servant leadership styles in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. The topic of leadership has been studied extensively throughout the years, with various leadership theories have been proposed. Previous studies have also highlighted on how leadership style is crucial in influencing the performance of an organization. Moreover, these two well-known leadership styles are believed to sit well with the concepts and strategies practiced among SMEs in this country. This study seeks to offer literature and practical insights into why these two styles of leadership are relevant and practical for the distinctive circumstances of Malaysian SMEs. Therefore, the researcher concluded with a rationale that applying the right and suitable leadership styles will influence the performance and success of Malaysian SMEs in the future.
