CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY;
An effective leadership
has been widely acknowledged as a potent instrument for achieving organisation
goals and objectives especially in the Institution of Management
and Technology, IMT, Enugu.
Leadership is an
important aspect of managing the ability to lead effectively is one of the keys
to being an effective manager; the essence of leadership is fellowship. In
otherwords, it is the willingness of people to follow that makes a person a
leader. Moreover, people tend to follow those whom they perceive as providing a
means of achieving their own desires, wants and needs. That is why any
organization that desires to achieve her objectives, must have an effective and
efficient leadership who knows how to apply all the management principles in
achieving her organizational objectives. The leader must be one who is willing
to work with zeal and confidence. Zeal here reflect ardor earnestness, and
intensity in the execution of work, confidence reflects experience and technical
ability. To lead is to guide, conduct, direct and proceed. Leaders act to help
a group achieve objectives with maximum application of its capabilities. They
should not be leaders who do not stand behind a group or organization to push
and to proud. They should place themselves before. The group as they facilitate
progress and inspire the group to accomplish organizational goals.
This is the kind of
leadership we desire to have in our institutions especially in IMT, Enugu.
Furthermore, it should be noted that, any organization without an effective
efficient leadership is like one driving a car without a head-lamp in the
night. This could be very dangerous and could also limit their chances of
achieving their objectives. That most organizations do not realize their goals
and objectives could be attributed to inefficient and ineffective leadership.
For an institution like
IMT, to realize all her laudable organizational goals should have an effective
leadership who possess all the required leadership traits and qualities.
Leadership according to
Katz and Kahn (1978:p.16) is generally defined simply as influence, the art or
process of influencing people so that they will strive willingly to achieve a
group goal. This concept can be enlarged to imply not only willingness to work
but also willingness to work with zeal and confidence. Zeal reflects ardor,
earnestness, and intensity in the execution of work, confidence reflects
experience and technical ability. To lead is to guide, conduct, direct and
precede.
The institution of
Management and Technology have the following problems in the achievement her
goals. They include, inefficient leadership, environmental factors, policy
inconsistency, political instability, interference from the government, poor
funding, poor management etc.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEMS
The Institute of
Management and Technology, IMT, Enugu, has been one of the leading polytechnics
in the country and in Enugu State, particularly in terms of enhancing
qualitative education in both management and technology. One of her objectives
is the integration of the individual with the society and the preparation of
the individual for effective function in the society. This remark was made
known by Njenze, the then the rector of this institution.
This institution has
trained and education so may prominent Nigerians and has helped in the
enhancement of Science, management and technology in the country. Most
parents organisations proffers to send their wards, Childrens and their staff
to undergo some courses in management and technology. This is because of
the satisfactory performances of others who have attended their higher
institution here in IMT.
To this regard, there
have been concerned effort by both the Federal and State Government and
even the governing council of IMT in the enhancement of the roles of effective
leadership in the achievement of her objectives. The vice president of
Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar had -–announced a handsome reward or package a waiting
the best institution of higher- learning who had distinguished herself in
stepping or producing cultism meanness in our tertiary institutions, checking
drug abuses among students, examination mal practices and above all in
achieving her organisational goals and objectives.
But inspite of all the
effort being made by government, most higher institutions are still
experiencing various problems in the achievement of their goals, particularly
in I M T, Enugu.
There is relatively low
level of standard in our educational system, cultism, incessant strike actions,
mismanagement of funds by these in the holism of affairs, there is relatively
low level of productively as most personnel are not putting in their best poor
planning and implementation and their subordinates as this will not bring fruitful
result in the achievement of organsitional goals especially in IMT Enugu.
To this extent,
therefore to the objectives of this institution in this regard has not been
comprehensively met. One can therefore safety assume that. When one
passes through an institution like IMT will be well prepared for participating
and leadership roles in the development of the Nigeria society.
These give rise to the
following pertinent questions as regards to the above-mentioned problems what
are the roles of the effective leadership in the achievement of organisational
goal? What goals are they expected to pursue ? What impact
would their roles have in the employees utilization of capability ?
What strategies were
been adopted in enhancing the roles of effective leadership ? What
strategies are currently been used ?
Is any need for the
roles of efficient leadership, are the students satisfied with the roles of
efficient leadership in the achievement of the institution’s goals and
objectives. Do they have the efficient and effective machinery to implement her
planned programmer ? What leadership styles and the best climate would
enable them achieve her objectives, what factors or problems affecting the
roles of efficient leadership in the achievement of organsitional goals, what
other possible ways would be recommended in the realization of these goals and
objectives.
