	<span style="line-height:1.5;">Leadership styles are as
old as human civilization. From the city state of polis to the modern public
governance era, leadership style steers up the organization to a higher level
of productivity. It breeds cooperation and motivation among employees.
Leadership is essential in the organization. While leadership is different from
person to person, it is affected by perception. These perceptions influence
expectancies and elicit actions from subordinates. The study measures the
leadership style of department heads and division chiefs using the following
thematic areas: 1) formulation of organizational objectives; 2) id</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">entification
of programs and projects; 3) making decisions; 4) handling complaints and
issues; 5) and addressing organizational problems. The study also compared
their leadership perceptions and determined
whether there is significant difference in styles using the classical models of
leadership, namely: 1) democratic; 2) autocratic; and 3) delegative. Majority
of the respondents (28) perceived that there is no significant difference
between their leadership styles.</span>
