| Summary: | Leadership is a critical factor in the success of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), particularly in Nigeria's complex business environment. This study explores how different leadership styles impact SME performance in Nigeria. Through structured surveys, it examines the influence of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership on key performance indicators such as revenue growth and employee satisfaction. Initial findings suggest that transformational leadership fosters
innovation and engagement, while transactional leadership improves operational efficiency. Laissez-faire leadership also shows promising outcomes. These insights offer valuable implications for SME owners, policymakers, and consultants seeking to enhance organizational performance. Additionally, the study sets a foundation for future research on leadership dynamics in SMEs across developing economies, contributing to a deeper understanding of factors influencing small business growth and
sustainability. |
