Onodugo VA and Ewurum UJF

This paper generally seeks to explain the reason why it is difficult for most organisations in Nigeria to operate at optimal level of productivity. It particularly sees ineffective leadership as the bane of most Nigerian organizations. Besides capturing the theoretical issues surrounding the concept of leadership, it distinctly clarifies the differences and relationship between leadership and management. Its major contribution is the detailing of the unique responsibilities and challenges organizations face as they grow especially in this era of globalization.
