Executive Summary
In this business environment the way to sustain the market position of the firms is to reduce
their production cost and make innovatory changes in the product so that the customers get
improved quality. In simple words, a firm need to become more productive so that with the
same amount of resources it can produce more. In order to gain the required efficiency in
production it is very important that a firm allocates it resources optimally. Organisational
performance is a dependent variable which is influenced by a number of independent
variables such as, leadership, employees’ commitment, HRM practices, customers’
satisfaction, suppliers’ management, etc. The leaders with the help of managers are required
to manage their employees so that a company is able to achieve continuous success by
accomplishing its set targets. It is where; LMD programmes can help the leaders to address
complexities of business in a more efficient way. The leader is responsible for guiding its
followers to prevent them from going astray and provide them with valuable feedback so that
they can improve their performance in future. If a leader fails to carry out its responsibilities
the consequences are severe and the case of Primark can be cited here to understand the value
of effectiveness of leadership to an organisation.
