    Leadership Styles and Organizational Performance :
    (The Advanced Global Journal of Research, 2025-09) Katushabe Edinah; Prof. Atukunda Gershom; Dr. Turyamureeba Rober
    This study sought to examine the impact of leadership styles on organizational performance, particularly in Isingiro District Local Government Headquarters. The objectives were to identify the impact of democratic, autocratic, and laissez-faire leadership styles on organizational performance. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design, collecting data from 36 respondents using self-administered questionnaires and interview guides. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis. The study found a positive and significant relationship between democratic leadership style and organizational performance. Similarly, there was a significant positive correlation between autocratic leadership style and organizational performance, as well as a positive significant relationship between laissez-faire leadership style and organizational performance. Based on these findings, the study recommended that leaders implement regular team meetings, one-on-one sessions, and anonymous suggestion mechanisms, including digital platforms, to encourage employees to share their thoughts without fear of reprisal. Leaders should also foster creativity, innovation, and employee engagement, as an overly autocratic style can stifle creativity, lower morale, and increase turnover. Leadership training programs should equip managers with skills to assess different situations and adapt their leadership style accordingly, ensuring that every team member understands their role, project goals, and expected outcomes.
