Abstract
Abstract
This study investigates the role of leadership in achieving organizational objectives, with a focus on the Kwara State Town Planning Authority, Ilorin. It explores how leadership styles, motivation, and management practices influence organizational performance. Drawing on theories such as autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, and bureaucratic leadership, the research highlights the importance of effective leadership in coordinating resources, motivating staff, and ensuring organizational success. Findings reveal that leadership is central to achieving organizational goals, with participative and democratic styles fostering better cooperation and productivity. The study concludes that leadership is indispensable in public administration and recommends reforms to strengthen leadership practices in the Town Planning Authority.
