Abstract
The role of leadership style in organisational change management has been investigated considerably in this article. Authors have made efforts to cover and present wide-ranging literature on the role of leadership style in organisational change. It was discovered in various literature reviewed that there are several leadership styles that can act as promoter in change management processes; ranging from authoritarian leadership, transformational leadership, laissez-faire leadership, servant leader, transactional leadership, democratic leadership, strategic leadership, bureaucratic leadership, to consultative and participative leadership. It was learnt further that leadership is one of the leading factors in bringing affirmative change in organizations. For instance, leadership is when the leader guides employees towards the direction they desire them in order to achieve organizational goals. It was also discovered that leadership has become an essential component for a successful change in any organization in order to face the ever contentious market competitiveness. In addition, the review as well, covered the concepts of leadership and organisational change management and their types in detail.

Summary
The globalization has transformed the world into a global village where organizations are always antagonistic and compete with each other. Patterns of modifications or change can be minor or major, together with the reorganization of a single department from side to side the whole company, the institution of a new machinery all the way through, the thorough change of the production or the closing down of one department and subsequently downsize all employees in that department As a result, it is not the magnitude of the change that can be considered as important but, the effect it will create inside the organization. In order to make sure any change management plan is effectively completed, there is need for proper plans to be in place and, the plans should as well be fully budgeted for This process can make leadership very important since, the manager’s duty is to ‘capture employees back into their work so as to produce maximum benefits from the change.
