The study examined the perceived influence of Leadership Style on Organisational performance in Selected Local Government Area, Lagos State, Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted using questionnaire as the major instrument.

The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between Leadership style adopted and Organisational performance of the respondents. The result equally revealed a significant difference between workers’ satisfaction and Leadership style if a set of expectation of an individual has not been meet. Based on the findings, it was suggested among other things that effective communication must flow from top level management and staff in the council should be very cordial.

The management must recognize the fact that an Organisation is not only an economic and technical unit, but also a social unit.
