CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background To The Study
Organization are increasingly challenge
with many complex problems. There is a general outcry that standard of
organization is falling and output are flagging some blame the workers for this
apparent decline in organization output, a thoughtful few think that they are
due to the nature of change in all direction. Majority blame the management for
the woes in our organization; manager are not as devoted and dedicated to the
course of good output as their predecessors. Management as a group blames the
government for unattractive condition of services, policy implementation and
poor physical facilities in the organization. Therefore, an effective
leadership influences a group of people in a particular situation towards the
achievement of a goal or set of organization goals. The leader must be
courageous in all aspect within the organization. An organization like Kaduna Polytechnic must
have a leader who is focus and be able to defend his action and the interest of
his subordinates. He must believe in his own potentials. Leadership is a social influencing process
for the attainment of goals. A leader is the most influential person in an organization
who provides direction, guides group activities and ensure that group
objectives are attained. The function of leadership persuades all organization;
a good leader therefore is one who is capable of persuading others to move
enthusiastically toward the achievement of group goals. Alan and Robert defined
leadership as a process where one person exert social influences over the
member of a group. A leader then, is a person for the purpose of influencing
their behavior. It is safe to say that: -
All leader has influence -
They provide direction -
They help in the achievement of groups Leadership characteristically
“induce” or “inspire” other to achieve. Leadership occurs within a specific
situation, in the social setting, there is a person, a position and a
situation. Despite all that has been written about leader, there has no
consensus concerning the primary role or function of leadership. Indeed, the
ability to lead effectively is one of the key to being an effective manager or
leader. However, the essence of leadership is followership. In other words, it
is the willingness of the subordinate to follow that make a person a leader. More
so, people intend to follow those who they see as providing them a means of
achieving their own desires, want and needs. To lead is to guide, conduct,
direct and precede. Leader act to help a group or organization achieved
objectives with maximum application of its capabilities. They do not stand
behind or a group to push or shout at them, they place themselves before the
group as they facilitate progress and inspire the group to accomplish
organizational goal. Therefore, leadership is to induce or persuade all
subordinate or follower to contribute willingly to achieve organizational goal.
