INTRODUCTION :-
In today’s dynamic and competitive
business landscape, it is important to pay
importance to every aspect of the
organizational framework, - employees

approaches:-
1. SURVEYS:- Conducting surveys allows
for gathering quantitative data from a
large sample of employees. Questions
could focus on perceptions of
leadership styles, motivation levels,
and self-reported performance metrics.
We have used the methodology of
surveying and questionnaire to collect
insights on the given topic. This survey
has been conducted through google
forms. The survey has been conducted
for people who are students, working
professionals as well as retired
employees belonging to not only
corporate sector but other sectors too.
Leadership styles not only influence
corporates but also every sector of the
economy.

cares about your ability to inspire and manage people, but they also may be

Leadership styles play a crucial role in shaping employee motivation and
performance. Alignment with Organizational Goals:** Different leadership styles
may be more effective depending on the organization's goals and culture. For
example, in a fast-paced, innovative startup, a transformational or charismatic
leadership style might be more suitable, whereas in a traditional, hierarchical
organization, a more autocratic or bureaucratic style may be preferred. 2.
**Employee Engagement:** Leadership styles that prioritize open communication,
collaboration, and empowerment tend to foster higher levels of employee
engagement. When employees feel valued, heard, and trusted, they are more
likely to be motivated to perform at their best.
