Abstract

Leadership connotes influence; because the decisions made by leaders that influences others. This study looks at how leadership-decision making affects employee performance. This theoretical paper is anchored on the Dunning-Kruger effect and theory X and Y which explains the interaction between leadership (independent variable) and employee performance (dependent variable). The study is an exploratory study and did an extensive review of literature. The comparison of literatures showed that leadership has a significant effect on employee performance and therefore suggests that organisational leaders and managers should adopt effective leadership styles that will lead to unbiased decision-making, improved employee performance and organisational efficiency and effectiveness.
