Abstract
From time immemorial, the role of leaders in ensuring excellent organizational performance
cannot be over emphasized. The need for adequate motivation, suitable working environment,
compensation and efficient communication between employers and employees are important to
promoting excellent organization performance. Though studies on leadership role amongst
employees are well studied in developed countries, less could be said of in developing countries
like Ethiopa. Therefore, it was important to evaluate leadership and organizational performance
in small- scale industries in Alatawondo, sidama zone, SNNPR, Ethiopa. The evaluation was
done through use of questionnaires with questions tailored towards determining: the relationship
between leadership and organizational performance, style of leadership and its effect on
organizational performance, the factors responsible for worker’s low performance and how
leadership style has affected labor management relations and productivity in the study area. After
analyzing the result, it was concluded that to attain the objectives of small-scale industries in
Alata wondo, it was necessary that leadership recognizes the needs of the workers, employ
appropriate motivational tool such as promotion of staff based on merit and skills, provide
suitable working environment and provide an appropriate leadership style that will encourage
free flow of information among employer, superior officers and other employees
